[asterisk-users] ${REASON} not getting set.

[Mike Diehl]

I've tried fourvariations on this theme:

Channel: local/155555555 at default
Channel: local/155555555 at Dialout
Channel: local/155555555/default
Channel: local/155555555/Dialout

Neither one worked.  I appreciate your time.  Any other ideas?

Mike.

P.S.  I thought that setting the context in the callfile took care of the 
issue you suggested?
