I'm a little confused by "It Seems I cannot re-use this var in extension
_888XXXXXXXXXX in context agents"....Of course you can use it...but if you
set bla to a different value in your code where your callfile is processed,
Asterisk will (rightfully so) just set bla = to whatever you set it to....

Now, if the callfile doesn't send a channel "through" the context that
you're trying to set blah, that's a little odd...

Now, as far as retrieving the information about the interface that answered
the call....look in queues.conf.sample....there's a nifty configuration
option:

*setinterfacevar=no ; (the default is no)*

That option, when set to yes, causes several variables to be created
*just*prior to the caller being bridged with the queue member...
