Programming Special Characters
Analog Multiline Telephones
Some dialing sequences need special characters. For example, the user would
press Hold to insert a Pause (p) after the dial-out code in a dialing sequence to
allow the system to seize an outside line before dialing the number. A Pause
can also be used to separate a telephone number from an extension number.

listens for the dialing and connection, and presses the
button again to dial the number.
