hi guys
i'm setting up an ivr for my friends to reach me i have 2 pagers 2 cells lol plus phone number at work i'd like to know if it is possible to set a delay in dialing an extension ... this is for my home trixbox lets say that my user presses one to reach me at work using follow me .....and the number is 514 -123-4567 extension 2222 ......one shot so the user does not need to deal 2222
Add a "w" to the dial string

As per the documentation on the Asterisk dial command, you can put a w in the dial string, and it will add a .5 second pause. Presumably you can add more pauses, by sequentially adding w's. So a dial string of "5141234567www2222" would dial the number, wait 1.5 seconds and dial 2222. It's a bit inelegant, but should be functional.
Reference: http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Dial for more info on this.
By the way - I haven't tried this with Trixbox / FreePBX - depending on how you set things up, it may or may not work. You could always write custom dial code if you needed.
