I not using anything to create my dialplan.  I'm trying to add a softphone to a dialplan 
that was created a couple years ago by someone that knew what they were doing.  
Everything else in the dialplan works.  As you can see I don't understand how to 
create a dialplan and I'm seeing from doing a lot of reading on google that everyone is 
having a hard time figuring out the dialplan that works with softphones.  The part I 
don't understand is why I'm not getting better answers on this list.  I know there are 
lots of experts on this list.  I'd be happy to hear from someone that gives me a 
private reply that says something like, I'd be happy to help you resolve your issue if 
you are willing to pay me for my time.  I don't know what other secrete there may be 
to get help to resolve this issue.

I'm not using a GUI.  It would probably do a much better job than I am.  The entries 
I am trying are all found on Google.  I'm amazed with all the experts in the world that 
there aren't lots of examples that work.  With my trial and error I'm not having a lot 
of luck.  Either finding examples that work or finding rules to create a dialplan.

Thanks for your input,

Gary
