[Asterisk-Users] Call Forwarding with Account Code.. can it be done?

[Darren Wiebe]

You have to do that from the dialplan.  I have a script that looks up 
the DID in a database and sets the accountcode.  It does some other 
stuff also but that could easily be cut out.  It's part of ASTPP.  Drop 
me a line if you need a copy.
