Michael,

Thank you for the response. The problem with your suggestion is that 
what I am trying to do is in the documentation, slightly different 
situation, at http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Conference_Add_Call_Example

Additionally, since this is a POTS setup, your suggestion puts more 
tones in the callers ear.

One final problem is that is that I am not sure how to strip off the *0# 
from the extension. I know the regex would be ^*0#(\d{4})$. I am just 
not sure how to match that against last_matching_digits and save it or 
use $1 elsewhere.

Thank you,
Trever
