<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=063435518-19112004>Our current ROLM
switch uses two-digit Feature Access Codes (FACs) for long-distance calls to
force the entering of a set of seven digits representing a client and matter
number before giving a real dial tone. This sequence is passed as part of
the CDR record and is used to charge the phone call to the correct
matter.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=063435518-19112004>Looking through the
Asterisk documentation I can see how a fixed billing code can be assigned to an
extension so that the caller gets charged but how can I set up a dialling plan
similar to the above without having to write a script to parse the matter number
out of a stanard CDR record?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=063435518-19112004>For example, a call
to New York which should be charged to matter# 1234567 is dialled as;
77-1234567-1-212-555-1212.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
