[asterisk-users] WaitExten() always times out

[Kathryn Jones]

I must not be receiving them properly, since I can't make it work. I just
can't see why :P.

My asterisk version is 1.6.2.6. Like I said before, for outgoing .call files
WaitExten works fine, it's on incoming calls that I cannot receive the
number I need.

I had not checked my dtmf mode, this is new to me. So I was using asterisk
default rfc2833. I am making pstn calls from regular telephones, through
asterisk. What dtmfmode should I use? Could that be my problem?
