Hi,

Did you read that page totally?
I think the trick with the local/ construct with /n at the
end can be the solution.
We use this to check every extension against our Groupware's
calendar database to see if a user has a meeting and doesn't
want to take calls.
Dial(Local/13 at internalphones/n&Local/14 at internalphons/n);
That way we can do totally different stuff depending on the
extension in the contect internalphones.
You should be able to do a setgroup/checkgroup on all the
local channels :)

What do you think?
