Hi, this is great - it just works great. Thank you very much!

I want to manage this dialplan variable for each extension separately,
unfortunately this doesn't work:

**77,hint,DS/splat${CALLERIDNUM}

Do you have an idea for that?
Is there an easy place to patch it in asterisk 1.0.7 stable?
Will it be possible with CVS-head?

I'm thinking about putting each device belonging to an extension in 
together
in their own context just consisting

eg.

[from-internal-104]
include => from-internal
**77,hint,DS/splat104

[from-internal-105]
include => from-internal
**77,hint,DS/splat105

Is there a more elegant and compact solution?!
