asterisk users - May 2006 - number that starts with star on PAP2

We have some extensions in our dialplan that start with a star.  We can 
dial them from Zap phones and SIP phones, but not from phones connected 
to a PAP2.  After the user presses star follwed by two digits (our 
extensions are dialed with star followed by three digits) he hears a 
fast-busy that comes from the PAP2, not from Asterisk.  This also 
happens with the builtin *8 (call pickup).

In the PAP2's setup there are all of these "Vertical Service Activation
Codes" that start with star and "Outbound Call Codec Selection
Codes",
also the setup menu is accessed by pressing star four times, could they 
be intefering with dialing numbers that start with a star?  And is there 
any way to get *8 and *XXX to dial?

thanks

Why I did to mine is modify all the internal "Vertical Service
Activation Codes" to be "**x" instead of "*x". There is
probably a
better way, but this worked for me.

  Yes - that's your problem. You need to porgram the dialpan in the PAP2
appropriately, disable functions you don't want, etc.
