thx for all of your suggestions... I'm learning more about asterisk every
minute :)
Barton, I tried to replace 'WaitExten' with 'Background' as you suggested,
and at first was disappointed that didn't change the behavior.
Than I tried Roberts suggestion, using 'Read' instead of 'WaitExten' - and
again was disappointed - no change, or at least it seem asterisk didn't get
every digit fo the extension, just some of them (f.e. I entered "1234",
asterisk [at the console] complained that there is no voicebox "124" etc.).
however, I've continued to experiment again and again, and strangely it
seemed to work _some_ times, even when passing 4digit-extensions. now I
think I got the solution: it seems I have to press the extension digits a
little bit longer! let's say I hold each button at least 0.5sec, everything
works great. if I do a quick dial, asterisk seems to "loose" digits.
any ideas why this might be?
From which channel do you make the call? (Zap? SIP?) Looks like a DTMF
detection problem. If ZAP, you better use longer tone. You can try
relaxeddtmf in zapata.conf, but people generally recommend against it. The
card you use also matters. Heavy echo could also interfere with DTMF.
If SIP, the symptom you described would happen only to inband DTMF. Try not
to use inband if you can help it.

looking forward to your opinions... I really start to like toying around
with asterisk :)

A very simple workaround to achieve what you want might be to replace
WaitExten(5)
with
Background(silence/5)
I use this all over the place to great success as it prevents the need
for any overly-clever processing of the result of WaitExten.
