Now why is Dial on priority 1 and not 4? OK, I see it has extension one on it, that's why. So I can group the handling/steps for each extension and list what to do with them in sequence. If they deal with something not pressed it will be skipped. > > > exten => 1,1,Dial,Zap/2|5 ; maybe this should be longer > > > exten => 1,2,Voicemail,u100 ; unavailable fall through > > > exten => 1,102,Voicemail,b100 ; Busy skip n+101 > > > > Where did 101 come from? > > in asterisk issue > show application dial Catchink! Another lightbulb! OK, time to implement my newfound wealth! Thanks a lot Stephen! You really should spend a few min and vrite down a few of these concepts for implementation into the new howto/doc version 2!
