[Asterisk-Users] determining what number was dialed?

[Chris Shaw]

True, very true... If it's PRI then you will get DNIS/DNID from the
D-Channel...

If they're doing anything other than PRI though, like a regular T1 into a
channel bank (or into a TE100P or TE40xP) , this would work... Lines would
be assigned to a specific channel and they could be separated out with
contexts... Not as pretty as using DNIS but it would work...
