Both Background() and WaitExten() allow the caller to enter DTMF
digits. Asterisk then attempts to find an extension in the current

finds a match, it will send the call to that extension.
My question then is, is "*" a valid exension, as in:
I'd have to assume yes. I don't use WaitExten() and I set
autofallthrough=no in the /etc/asterisk.conf, since that is the way
I've always expected Asterisk to work; my dialplan examples are based
on that.
The below example shows a call coming into a DID, playing background
prompts and excepting input during play.

This is not the complete dialplan; I also have error checking and a
