Thanks for the feedback/input.
I really need a custom GUI because a user has to be able to change the values as
needed.
The dialplan is probably the easiest part and most people here probably don't
see the problem.
For me it's a question of getting everything tied together nicely so that it
works without "tinkering" later.
All the best,
