Doug,

This may be a dumb question but I wanted to make sure: are you using the
'n' priority in your number plans?  (If not, could you let us know why?
Very curious here.)  Same question regarding the giving of names to 'n'
priorities.

Example from one of my dial plans:

exten => talk,1,ForkCDR
exten => talk,n,Set(NUMTRIES=1)
exten => talk,n,GotoIf($[${NUMTRIES} = 1]?first)
exten => talk,n(repeat),Background(Initial-greeting)
exten => talk,n(first),Wait(.1)
exten => talk,n,Festival(${fname})
exten => talk,n,Festival(${lname})
exten => talk,n,Background(If-person1)
exten => talk,n,GotoIf($[${NUMTRIES} < 2]?repeat)
exten => talk,n,Set(NUMTRIES=$[${NUMTRIES}+1])
exten => talk,n,Goto(t,1)


I know you have specific needs for your application and none of this may
apply, but I figure it's better to be certain.

Thanks for your input!
