[asterisk-users] some simple newbie help with dialplan needed...

[Evert]

Hi! :)

Thanks for the tip. I'm almost there now, the only problem that I have
left is that I do NOT want Asterisk to check whether the extension
entered is valid. In the current setup Asterisk will refuse to forward
the call since it thinks the extension is invalid...  :-/

Regards,
  Evert
