I know you're not the person I should be asking "Are you sure?"   but it 
did seem like when I had an analog phone plugged into an FXS in a TDM 
card that asterisk paused a bit to make sure I wasn't entering any more 
digits, because I didn't use the wildcard '!' maybe?   Just getting 
confused, I guess -- It must have been when my IAXy was installed!

Thanks for the correction :)
