I just tried entering a '*' as part of a phone number in MEX114.  It
worked just fine for me.  Do the following (example phone number
used):

MEX>phone my=*70,13135551212

Then you can say CALL MY and it will do it.  Note the comma to allow a
pause after the *70 to allow for time for the second dialtone to come
up.  Don't use dashes or you may exceed the buffer space available for
the number.
