So with overlap you will have to keep refusing the call until the right amount of digits are dialed.
This mode would send 1 then 12 then 123 then 1234 then 12345 then 123456 as they were being dialed.
once you have 123456 won't you still be unsure if he will type the next 1 or not and be forced to refuse it and wait anyway?

This feature is mostly used to allow the server to accept the call the instant it knows there is an exact match in the dialplan or a non-existent number has been dialed.  For instance, if 1234 was a unique ext, it could instantly return since it knows.

the thing we want to make working nicer is the following:

we want the main/basic phonenumber (123456) to be reachable, so that
the telephone rings. but we also want it to be expandable with
ddi-digits.

example: dial the 123456 to reach the company, dial the 123456 1 to
reach the support.

in the moment our carrier waits x (milli-)seconds to see, if the
123456 was dialed or if there were more digits attached. after this
time, the carrier sends us the whole number as a block (may it be
123456 or 1234561) and we answer.

we want to avoid the waiting time the carrier needs to wait for
(possible) more digits. we want to receive every single digit from our
carrier and we want to tell fs, when the number is complete and fs can
answer.
