asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Sending DTMF after a call is set up

I'm using Dial to place a call to a PBX.  But then I want to wait a few
seconds and dial an extension.  Dial doesn't return until the call is
disconnected though.

I also want the caller to not hear any audio until the DTMF has been sent.
This gets the caller to the right place and he doesnt have to hear the
welcome message from the PBX.

Dial apparently isnt the application to use.  Is there something else or do
I have to write my own?  If the latter, can someone tell me what principal
routines to call in this application?

Thanks,
Bill

Try this posting:

It might be channel specific, I do not know.

Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but look at 
this option in the wiki:

D(digits): After the called party answers, send digits as 
a DTMF stream, then connect the call to the originating 
channel.

You can find the entire list here:
