[asterisk-users] Re: Attempt to setup paging and intercom

[Steven]

I do not know if this breaks anything or not the way you have it, but you should not have the underscore before the extension.

The underscore means that the following is an expression, where X=any single digit and .=any number of digits.
I do not know if the underscore also interprets the * as something, or maybe it just gets stuck trying to figure out an expression 
with no X nor .

Or this may not be an issue at all.
