In the most general case, the exten=>s is for incoming analog pstn lines (fxo ports) where the central office sends a call to your asterisk box by ringing the line. There are no digits sent to asterisk at all, therefore exten=>s is used to handle that incoming call. Or, if you have an account with an itsp that sends incoming calls to your asterisk via iax/sip and doesn't send any digits to you, then exten=>s is used for those as well. It really has nothing to do with 'other' contexts. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
