Oops, my bad; I missed out a punctuation mark.  

Before I tell you the answer, though, have a good look at the console 
diagnostic messages and see if you can spot for yourself what it's doing 
wrong.  What is it trying to dial, and what *should* it be trying to dial?

And didn't it feel good, knowing you fixed it yourself?

There should be a $ sign in the "Set()" step:
Set(Dest=50${EXTEN:-2})
so it will use the rightmost 2 characters of ${EXTEN}.
