[VoIP] Asterisk Programming Technique

[Lee Spenadel]

Yes Mark, that's what I was initially thinking.  The way Shane explained his
solution seemed plausible and easy.  My fallback will be my original plan.

The problem is that FWD numbers don't all start with 7, so when
Lee says FWD numbers are five or six digits, he'll be dialing
7+5D or 7+6D, so it's impossible to distinguish between a
7+6D FWD call and a 7XX-XXXX CNET call.

I think he should use _*7XXXXX. for FWD calls, and
_NXXXXXX for CNET calls (which is what he's already doing, I
imagine)
