Thanks for the info Danny.

I also found while doing more reading that I can use
Action: Originate
Channel: local/1 at myNewContext
Context: default
Exten: <othernumber>
Priority: 1
Timeout: 30000

and then setup a context in the dial plan that dial out to the needed
number.

I new as soon as I sent the question something rtfm ish would hit me

Thanks again
