Create a context 'suspended' that can *only* dial 911 then move extensions into that context.

Even if the customer doesn't pay their bill you *still* want them to be able to dial 911, and probably your customer service number. You could even create a dialplan in the context to send all other calls to a announcement (please pay your bill and your calls will go through).

no it doesn't. you could just change the context field for the extensions you wanted to comment out.

Thanks, but that means I'd have to effectively comment out every extension in that context, which isn't very feesible.

Actually, you could just change to context.  If a context isn't
established in the extensions.conf file, it won't every be
included in
the dial-plan.  As such, if you change the context on some realtime
entries, they won't be included in the dial-plan.  Later, all
you have
to do is change the context back with a simple SQL UPDATE statement.

The unofficial docs on the voip wiki for the realtime
extensions table structure is:

CREATE TABLE `extensions_table` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`context` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
`exten` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
`priority` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',
`app` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
`appdata` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY  (`context`,`exten`,`priority`),
KEY `id` (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

Uhm... what abouts comments? What if I wanted to temporarily
deactivate a couple of extensions? Without a comment flag,
I'd have to completely remove those entries from the
extensions table! That's not very friendly is it... Is there
a better way?
