asterisk users - Jun 2004 - toll access - account code

Our telco has setup toll access account codes for outgoing calls.  I would
like to include these account codes in the dialplan for certain extensions
(fax lines, modems) so that they are not prompted for the 4 digit code when
making a toll call.  I have played around with the 'w' command with ZAP
channels, commas, and DISA, all with no success.  I see a lot of examples of
Asterisk with account codes, but they are all using internal codes, not
those setup by a telco.  Has anyone set this up successfully or can point me
in the right direction?

Thanks,

Josh

Here is an example of my dialplan, where 1234 is the account code required
by my telco for a toll access call.

exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1}wwww1234}
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Congestion

When I include the wwww1234, with any variation of www before the code, I
get a "Reorder" error on my Cisco 7940 talking SIP.  Asterisk CLI
spits this
out:

Jun 24 12:07:34 WARNING[1234455344]: pbx.c:1215 pbx_extension_helper:  No
applic
ation 'Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1}wwww1234}' for extension (test,
919074749606,
1)
   == Spawn extension (test, 919074749606, 1) exited non-zero on
'SIP/4299-cee1'

If I take out the www1234, I can complete the call, but have to enter in the
account code by hand.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Josh

Look at Dial() with option D:

D(digits): After the called party answers, send digits as a DTMF stream, 
then connect the call to the originating channel. (in CVS since May 
2004?) 

Cheers, Philipp

Sorry for thinking out loud here.  The bracket at the end of the first line
should have been a parantheses.

        -- Executing Dial("SIP/4299-cf70",
"Zap/g1/19074749606wwww1234") in
new stack
     -- Called g1/19074749606wwww1234
    -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'

Now I get the prompt for the access code, but it doesn't appear to dial the
wwww1234 to complete the dial string.

?

I'm running Asterisk CVS-HEAD-06/15/04-17:27:40

I now have this in my dialplan:

exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1},,D(1234))
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Congestion

With the results:
    
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/4299-5393",
"Zap/g1/19074749606||D(1234)") in new
stack
    -- Called g1/19074749606

Still get the prompt for the access code.  I have relaxdtmf set to yes in
zapata.conf?  I can't do a complete restart of asterisk until off hours, but
will try setting it to no to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks guys,

Josh
