[VoIP] Asterisk Programming Technique

[Shane Young]

Oh, that's easy then.

exten => _7xxxx,1,macro(dial-fwd)
exten => _7xxxxx,1,macro(dial-fwd)
exten => _7xxxxxx,1,macro(dial-cnet)

This should dial immediately when you dial a 7-digit CNET number  
starting with "7".  If you dial a 5 or 6 digit number starting with  
"7" it will wait for a bit to see if you are done  dialing.  If no  
more digits are entered, then it will fire off the macro for fwd.
