asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Outbound dialing

Hello all. I am just getting back into Asterisk and I am setting up my  
Linksys SPA3102. I have incoming calls working fine, as is the phone  
plugged into the unit. My problem is I cannot get the SPA3102 to dial  
a phone number automatically. I can call the extention of the PSTN and  
I get a second dialtone, and I can then manually dial. I'd like to be  
able to have Asterisk pass the number I dialed to the SPA and have it  
dialout. I've played with dialplans on the SPA I've found during my  
googling, but I think it might be something I am missing in my  
extentions.conf file. Any ideas?

Not specific to the SPA3102, but just normal outbound dialing is as follows:

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(<trunk type>/<name>/${EXTEN})

or if you want to require people to dial 9, then:

exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(<trunk type>/<name>/${EXTEN})

or if you're like me and you're used to a cell phone and don't like
dialing
the 1:

exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(<trunk type>/<name>/1${EXTEN})

Have a look here:

Maybe you can use senddtmf to solve your problem.
