[Asterisk-Users] AEL2 and CID

[Aaron Daniel]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doing this CID stuff in AEL may not make as 
much sense in terms of converting dialplans over as it seems.  I say this, 
because with the original usage of the CID checking in the old extension 
language, you could base PRIORITIES on the CID, therefore changing only 
part of the actual extension logic.  With how you're looking at it, that 
would effectively render an extension into two separate logical forms, 
which I know would definitely confuse people when converting the 
languages.  Also, doing the CID checks inside the extension gives a larger 
degree of control, and makes the dialplan a bit more eligible.  From an 
administration standpoint, you could have multiple EXTEN/CID's strewn 
about, but if you strictly use the in-extension checking, you know that 
*THIS* is the extension you're looking for, and *THOSE* CID's are the ones 
that are going to do something different.

Just my thoughts on the matter :) Hope they help a little.
