Hi, This morning I found myself stumped when a remote interactive system asked me to enter some identification followed by the # key, and my local Asterisk interrupted with "Transfer?". Is there a way to escape the pound key, short of disabling transfers? Cheers, -- "Make it idiot proof, and somebody will make a better idiot."

I run into that # issue sometimes too
All I can do is hit ## so the lady tells me there is no ext really fast and i
may not miss any of the call the # still makes it to the real call too.
If you knew in advance you are calling that kind of system you could always
clone the ext you use to make the call with a prefix to not use T flag
ignorepat => 7
like exten => _XXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN}|60|T) ; local # w xfer
like exten => _7XXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN:1}) ; 7 means no xfer
You can always have ## make the lady go away real fast instead of telling you
the obvious fact that # is an invalid ext
1 of the '# ' to activate xfer mode, then special ext # means you dont
really want to xfer and takes you back to the call asap as the call in progress
would have heard your 1st # and not the 2nd.

Look through the archives, and search for "##" - someone made it so that the "transfer" feature would only work after hitting # twice. A very cursory search of the bugtracker didn't find that patch - can someone search more diligently, and then submit it if they find the original code? JT
Yes, just press pound twice.
