asterisk users - Jun 2009 - Unable to use # as feature key prefix

Hi folks,

I was using the following featuremap:

  blindxfer => *1
  disconnect => *9
  atxfer => *2
  parkcall => *7
  automixmon => *0

and everything worked.

Then the need arouse to use some features like automixmon during
a conference, but MeetMet has the * key bound to the
(admin) menu. Thus, in order to enable features like automon and 
transfers even during a conference, I tried to swap * fro # in the
featuremap:

  blindxfer => #1
  disconnect => #9
  atxfer => #2
  parkcall => #7
  automixmon => #0

Unforunately, I cannot seem to make any of the features happen,
neither during a normal call, nor during a conference.

I've tried with multiple phones.

What could be the problem?

The problem is the Asterisk Read function.  It is set to accept as many 0-9
and * as you want to throw at it, then stop on # or timeout.  Unless you
disable the # stops, you can't use # in features.  I would strongly caution
against that because you would almost certainly break something else.
