Does anyone out there in PBX-land know how to program a # or * into a S75 Abbreviated Dial (1-button speeddial) string? In a normal dial pattern, it expects a feature access code (call park, call pickup, etc) following those character. What I'm trying to do is call a voicemail system which requires a # before you may enter your own mailbox number. (save your "security violation!" warnings - users would still manually enter their passwords). Anyway, I spoke with my AT&T systems "consultant" and got the usual answer: "Gee, I dunno. That's a new one on me." There must be a way, mustn't there? It's certainly ok to manually enter the octothorpe following either a manual dial or speed dial to the system. I've tried the various switches including Pause (to wait for the system to answer) and Mark which treats "all digits following the Mark as end-to-end signalling digits to be outpulsed over an outgoing trunk in touch-tone signal form." It doesn't. Any ideas? Software is R1V3. scott
