asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Play Dialtone - get digits

I'd like to write a snippet of dialtone that plays dialtone and collects a 
specific number of digits into a variable.

Sort of like READ but with a generated dialtone.

Naturally, I want the dialtone to stop playing after the first digit.

I can't find this anywhere.

Only thing I can think of is a no-password DISA. Is this the correct 
method? Is there a better one?

DISA would proably work, though it may be a hassle since the call will be
sent into the disa context. Another option is to use READ with a
filecontaining a recording of the dialtone.
