[asterisk-users] Expanding my answering-machine system

[Steve Matzura]

Sorry, Joshua, I don't understand. One's a filename, one's an extension 
number. How are they the same? In other words, why would 
'enter-ext-of-person' be considered a filename? I would think 
'enter-ext-of-person' would be an extension number.
