asterisk users - Jan 2006 - Dial application newbie help

Hello friends, 
I am a newbie to asterisk , please help. I am receiving a phone from a sip
server and I want to route it to another sip server. The problem is that the
target sip server takes a # in the argument . I am trying to dial as

exten => s,5,Dial(12345#123456789@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)      ;;;; dial the number
at the ip address.

When this gets executed, I get the following eror:-
 app_dial.c:698 dial_exec: Dial argument takes format
(technology1/[device:]number1&technology2/[device:]number2...|optional
timeout)

Please help me how do I resolve this problem. I have to send # or else my phone
wont connect.

Thanks for reading this.

With warm regards.

You need a 'SIP/' in that!

Like:

exten => s,5,Dial(SIP/12345#123456789@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

later,
