[asterisk-users] Dialplan "or" matching

[Kevin Smith]

Glad I could help. I agree, these mailing lists are a life saver. I 
personally have only been using Asterisk for about 5 months now, in fact 
I have never even delt with any PBX's before (complete newbie) but 
everyone here is very helpful and I am picking up a lot.
