Re: [Asterisk-java-users] DTMF digit collection

Stefan,

Thank you very much for your input.  You have confirmed some ideas I
have been working with last night which was to integrate AGI/Manager
API.  I was not yet confident that was the solution.  I wanted to make
sure I was not missing something in looking at the Manager API.  I
believe that utilization of both interfaces will provide the
capabilities I need.

Thanks again for your help.

Jonathan
