Thanks, tried that several ways but no help since ${EXTEN}=h.
Probably will try with CHANISAVAIL or ${CHANNEL} or something...

Sure ASTCC works, but I am talking about inbound calls
where 1122334455 is a DID as well as a card number being
charged for the incoming calls.  Thus ${EXTEN}=DID=card i.e.
exten => 1122334455,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=${EXTEN})

Mayby I should not assosiate DID from card(user) and create a separate
peer for the DID on a different port.

Any other ideas? Thanks.
