asterisk users - Aug 2003 - Sending dtmf over an ougoing call from asterisk

Hi list,
I would like to know of a possible way to dial a  pstn number with an extension
.
Let the number is   56626965-234 so now i wanna dial 56636965 then wait for some
time and dial the extension 234 to reach a particular person.I am afraid that i
could not figure it out.

I am trying in this way..

[outgoing]

exten=>_566X.,1,wait,2
exten=>_566X.,2,Dial(${EXTEN})
exten=>_566X.,3,wait,4  //waiting for 4 secs before dialing the extension
exten=>_566X,4,SendDTMF(234)

but this is not working as i find that when i dial the number then * does not
move to next priority 3 until we hangup the dialled number.
So i would be thankful if someone can correct me by providing an alternative or
something else.

Rgds

stick some w's in the dialstring to "W"ait for a bit for a
dialtone.

I use it to dial an access provider, wait for a second dialtone and dial 
the long distance number

Dial doesn't return till the channel drops. If you are using an analog
channel, you can use a W for wait, but if it is digital, it seems that
you are SOL because the w and any trailing digits will get eaten up by
the PSTN as it routes the call.
