[Asterisk-Users] Asking for phone number to dial

[undrhil.1528785 at bloglines.com]

I thought Background() only allowed you one digit dialing while it's playing.
 Is this not the case?  I agree with the reply which said that you want to
use DISA, the only problem with DISA is that you have no way to use the line
for answering regular calls.  Once you put the DISA command in the dialplan,
you get the DISA dialtone for entering you code.  I suppose if you know where
you will be calling from, you could code in a specific dialplan based on your
callerid info, but that just seems kind of tedious just for being about to
dial out.

The number "dialed" after Background
is stored in the EXTEN variable and can be used in the Dial application.
