Right now I have a script that parses the prefixes and creates the dial plan in an #include file. Since the prefixes don't change the frequently, it seems to work. Assume that everything is 11 digits, then using a dialing macro, find an open trunk and strip the '1' if needed. Now my users never have to dial a 11, but it works if they do. I would welcome some ideas for a more elegant solution! So if cell phones never require 11 digits...
