Klaus-Peter Junghanns has something like this on his page:

It didn't work for me correctly so I changed a lot to fit it to my
dialplan. Give it a try for you...

All seems a little OTT for me, why don't you just have:


exten => 0,1,DISA(no-password,mydialout)


[mydialout]

exten => _XX.,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/${EXTEN})


you could, if you wanted, add an _00X. or _0XXXXXX (depends on local number
lengths) to be able to dial straight out...


seems a lot simpler than the macro above... although you aren't getting a
different tone...
