Brian's right. But, the variable has to be a global, and is evaluated at
the time the extensions.conf file is read in; so, really, it's a
constant, and isn't evaluated at all at dial time. So, if you do one of
those "dialplan show" things, you'll see that the variable has been
substituted. Just had to fix a bug where AEL didn't provide the same
service.
