[asterisk-users] Does Asterisk support DNIS?

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

It will do so automatically if it is working.  Asterisk will stuff those 
digits into ${EXTEN}, therefore you need an exten => _XXX,1,Whatever if 
you are expecting 3 digits.

Until recently we had DID service from our telco on an E&M Wink 
channelized voice T-1.  The above is what we did.
