asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Resolving digit strings using pound/hash.

Hi all,

      The thing that has bugged me about Asterisk since I first started 
playing with it, is the fact that the pound sign/hash/octothorp doesn't 
resolve digit conflicts or cancel timing on a variable length string such 
as a tie line code or when you call numbers in a country whose length can 
be different between numbers in the same plan.  In North America, we see 
this when calling places such as Germany.  Thanks to Atis, this now seems 
to work properly in DISA fixed via bug 10754.  Can we please have this 
effect expanded to cover all cases where Asterisk collects digits such as 
dialing into an IVR, zap FXS channel, and everywhere else.

           Thanks.

Hi,

Can you pinpoint (with examples) where it is not that way? From my experience 
this is already working nearly everywhere. At least it's for Read's and 
incoming calls. 

Regards,
Atis
