[Asterisk-Users] making wakeup feature call phone number, not extension?

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

With most asterisk installs, there's no difference between an extension 
and a phone number.  For example, from your internal context, a phone 
could dial one number and get an internal destination, or dial another 
number and get an external destination.  i.e. in my office I could tell 
a theoretical wake-up system to call me at extension 112 -- my desk -- 
or at extension 7471234 -- my home.  Why should it need to know the 
difference?  It's still the same procedure: call, wait for answer, play 
info recording... :)
