[Asterisk-Users] how to ask for number to dial and then dial it?

[Robert La Ferla]

I want to create an extension say "8000" that prompts the user to  
enter a number and then dial that entered number according to a set  
of rules.  The rules for dialing out are in different context (dial- 
out-rules).

[mymenu]

exten => 8000,1,Answer()
????


[dial-out-rules]

; toll-free numbers out pots line
exten => _1800XXXXXXX,1,Dial(${ANALOG_POTS}/${EXTEN})
exten => _1800XXXXXXX,n,Hangup()

; long-distance out voip line
exten => _NXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@myprovider.com,30)
exten => _NXXXXXXXXX,n,Hangup()


etc...


How do I do it?
