asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Issue with using dialing PBX digits after call is connected

Hi,
 
I'm trying to make an apparently simple thing work, but I don't see how
it
is possible with Asterisk.
 
This is my extensions.conf:
 
exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/123456/555-555-5555|20|D(7777)) ;After call
connects, send DTMF 7777
exten => 1234,2,VoiceMail(1234@context);
 
What I obviously want is that if nobody answer the call, go to voicemail.
Basic stuff.
 
Problem is Asterisk recognizes the call as being bridged as soon as the PBX
on the other end answer, regarldess of whether the final extension 7777
answers or not.  In other words, priority 2 will never kick in. 
 
How do I get around this?
 
 
 
Mike

by making sure that the other pbx doesn't answer.
Anyhow you can do something like press one to accept the call using
the M option in dial, and not return continue from the macro unless
someone actualy picked up and pressed 1.
