[snip excellent explanation of pattern matching]

The key quote above is "and not have to use a timeout when dialing long 
distance".  Sure Asterisk (and thus Trixbox) can match your pattern once 
you have sent it on, but that assumes that the phone must wait the 
inter-digit timeout before sending a three digit extension that MIGHT be 
the start of dialing a long distance number.

I have done the same thing, and no I don't think you are missing anything 
for your home setup.

Cheers,
