[Asterisk-Users] direct-inward-dialing (DID)

> Example: 456-7000 is your main number and you have 7001 to 7099 as DIDs:

> exten => 7000,1,Goto(AutoAttendant|s|1)
> exten => _7XXX,1,Macro(yourdialmacro|${EXTEN})

How are you dropping the 456 there?  I thought extensions picked up what 
either the SIP phone had dialled, or what DTMF detection picked up when * 
answered the line...?

I'm looking at purchasing a PRI with 30 DIDs (can't get any fewer from Bell 
Canada) and routing the calls coming in to multiple remote * boxes based on 
the called number.  I was going to ask a question similar to John's but 
just didn't get around to it yet.  :-) 

If you could explain in a little more detail how you turn the CNID into an 
extension I'd really appreciate it.
