Summary:                    CHANNEL variable is set incorrectly by Asterisk
Description: 
Ever since I installed version 1.6.2.14 of Asterisk, the CHANNEL variable
appears to behave differently that before - specifically saying: it now
doesn't return the technology type, and the the ID appears to be a little
chopped.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I use the ${CHANNEL} variable extensively, and haven't noticed any problem
in any 1.6 versions.

Could this be the way you are using it in your dialplan?

Could you post a few lines around your usage?
