It sounds like your second paragraph might cover this, but I didn't
really grok that (because I'm not all that familiar with Asterisk): my
concern would be that pressing "1" for my box needs to forward to a
different place than "1" for someone else. Also, that information needs
to be configurable via an ODBC data source. Is this possible in 1.6.0
beta?
