Thanks for the response.  If you mean changing the Dial line in 
extensions.conf to something like this, then I really don't see how that 
is correct, and it does not seem to work:

; 800 Toll Free Numbers
exten =>> _1800XXXXXXX,1,SetCallerID(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten =>> _1800XXXXXXX,2,SetCIDName(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten =>> _1800XXXXXXX,3,Dial(SIP/#${EXTEN}@sipphone)
;exten =>> _1800XXXXXXX,3,Dial(SIP/#*${EXTEN}@fwd)
exten =>> _1800XXXXXXX,4,Hangup
