context have code to set<BR>the CID to what you wish (you can do logic control
and if you're<BR>feeling spiffy you can even lookup what CLID to use based on
the<BR>extension making the call).<BR><BR>Second, calls that are being passed
from the outside world onto should<BR>pass through a different context,
performing pretty much the same<BR>function...<BR><BR>Third, both of THOSE
contexts should then pass to a third context that<BR>performs the dialout
using the multiple targets...<BR><BR><BR>Let me know if that works...I know I
can make this do what you want,<BR>but I'm not trying to do all the work, just
point you in a direction,<BR>since I get paid to actually do the work
