Your provider will "outpulse" a certain number of the DID digits for 
you.  You may have a choice as to how many digits you want outpulsed.  
You can then use these outpulsed digits just as an extension.  E.G. if 
you have (555) 555-2000 through (555) 555-2019, and you have four 
outpulsed digits, you could make them go to your various 
extensions/contexts like this:

exten => 2000,1,Goto(IVRMenu,s,1)

exten => 2001,1,Goto(SIPExtensions,101,1)
