Matt already replied to your other posting of similar content.  I'm also a 
bit confused.  Do you mean you have observed that Asterisk is brought into 
the intended context, but start to react to digits in DNIS one after 
another?  If so, can you estimate the interval Asterisk stays in each 
extension?

If this is true, it seems to suggest that your provider is sending DNIS as a 
DTMF string after Asterisk has answered the call.  Isn't this a bit weird?  
What does the card's manual say about DNIS (with wink start)?
