No problem with Asterisk to do the same.
Same here, that's what I want to do. > > so no need to make a special dialplan to > > acomodate the weird numbering system we have in Brazil (sometimes we > > dial 7 numbers, sometimes 8, sometimes 12, sometimes 13, etc.) > > Actually, we also have non-fixed phone numbers in Germany.

Hmmm, seems interesting. I'm growing to opt for this Sipura thing. To avoid echoes, I'll opt for a BRI instead of any FXO available out there. > The used code has an implication to the delay.
