[Asterisk-Users] determining what number was dialed?

[Paul Concepcion]

well, that's our setup (8 analog lines -> channel bank -> t100P), so
it looks like DNIS is out of the question. We do have 8 phone numbers
though. Could we have a 1-800 number direct to each of those, then do
what you suggested with contexts? What would happen if two people
dialed 1-800-a if 1-800-a was pointed to just one phone number?
