I don't think what they're discussing is the right answer in this case.  We don't
want to have to control PRI level functionality (or have to know about it) from the
dialplan level.  It should probably be done at a lower level, perhaps a config
file.

:-) It's nice to see somebody thinks that is useful.  It was annoying to have to
seperate all the PRI messages out from the console data, that's why I put that
in.
