[asterisk-users] getting DID info..

[Todd- Asterisk]

Thanks for the help Jerry - I'm getting closer, but still no luck...

Now, I hear the lady say "S".  I think what is happening is that the  
GoTo command is setting the extension to 's' when it transfers  
control to the context defined in the IAX.conf -where I have the  
trunk line defined...

exten => h,1,Hangup
exten => s,n,Answer
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,SayAlpha(${EXTEN})

It is my impression that the EXTEN variable is used as the internal  
extension - not the incoming DID number, but you seem pretty  
confident so I must be wrong.  What I"m looking to do is a FOP pop-up  
with the DID number and caller ID number in it...   I'll tie that  
into a web-based database...


Here's my full log file..
