[Asterisk-Users] chan capi: Long incomingmsn line in capi.conf?

[Peter Braidwood]

The incommingmsn line is not the issue for me as I just use * its the msn line. I need to have an entry in there for each of the msn numbers that I want to dial out on, so with 10 msn numbers at 10 digits each and 9 commas between them its a bit longer than 80 chars.
