[Asterisk] Ringing a remote phone WITHOUT typing an extension first?

Hello

(sorry, I know this ng is aimed at VoIP, and what I'm trying to achieve first is closer to telecom than VoIP, but I'm getting nowhere, so figured maybe someone would know the answer. Thx)

Since I'm stuck, I went back to reading several PDFs on Asterisk, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's at all possible to have Asterisk ring a phone number without first answering the call and asking the user to type an extension.

I have two FXO cards: When a call comes into the first card, I want Asterisk to simply dial out a number through the second card without going off hook.

Anybody knows if I'm just wasting my time with Asterisk to do this, and should look at another solution? All the exemples I see of dial plans include extensions, ie. callers are expected to go through some kind of voice menu and choose an extension for the magic to happen.

Thank you.
