[Asterisk-Users] Dial Plan Format Strings

[Nik Martin]

Ahh, the {EXTEN:1} must serve to skip the 1st character of the extension,
stripping the 9 off
That's what I needed, thanks!

Nik,
	I use NuFone, but here's how I do it (my area code is 207):

exten => _9NXXXXXX,7,Dial(IAX2/ausername at NuFone/1207${EXTEN:1})

Good luck,
	Austin
