[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk switch => statement

[Eric Wieling]

So this:

switch => IAX/bobdobbs at ast-2/incoming

is really the same as this:

exten => .,1,Dial(bobdobbs at ast-2/${EXTEN})

(that's => "dot""comma"1)

Assuming that ast-2 has ast-1 going to context incoming in it's entry in
iax.conf?
