I was actually thinking that what would a null number be in my example. I have this customer router which has this specific rule for inbound calls. Will it work when PSTN will send "null digits"? doesn't make sense to me. What is a null/unknown digit?

On H323 you could use following rule to do this voice translation-rule 1 rule 1 reject /^$/ voice translation-profile Drop-Unknown translate calling 1 dial-peer voice 1 pots direct-inward-dial incom called . call-block translation-profile incoming Drop-Unknown For you example may be it i setting unknown ANI to be 42000 for example, bu not sure, need to be tested.
