asterisk users - Dec 2008 - How to escape DTMF?

Hello List,

we are in the need to reach an external Conference-System, whos 
numbering system is *2nnnn*. Unfortunately *2 is the featurecode for 
attended transfer in our local asterisk, so the call doesn't come 
through. Is there a way to somehow escape the featurecode, so we can 
reach the external Conference?

Thanx in advance,
Carsten.

Carsten,

Feature codes are configured in "/etc/asterisk/features.conf".  In
your
case, you'll want to set:

  [featuremap]
  atxfer => *2                   ; Attended transfer

to some other value.
