[Asterisk-Users] i extension

[Michael Loftis]

[default]
include => extensions
include => bogons


[extensions]

exten => 44X,...
exten => 45X,...

[bogons]

exten => _.,1,what_to_do_for_fat_fingers


any context that bogons is included in will have DigitTimeout long times 
after finishing dialing.  SIP users won't notice this, but those in an IVR 
or on an analog extension would.
