asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Unknown numebrs to a context/extension

What do I need to do to route all incoming calls on unknown numbers to
a certain context?  I know how to do the routing and setup the
context... but what do I actually have to do?  Right now if I call a
number on my PRI that is not setup in Asterisk I get a fast busy
signal.. I'd like it to go to a recording instead... but how to make
Asterisk answer any unknown number from pstn and direct it to a
context/extension?

Use included contexts:

[incoming-calls]
Include = [known-dids]
Include = [unknown-dids]

[known-dids]
Exten = 1,1,Foo
Exten = 2,1,Bar

[unknown-dids]
Exten = _X.,1,Playback(message)
Exten = _X.,2,Zapateller

I thought that recent CVS HEAD actually fixed this.

if an 'i' extension exists in the context the PRI dumps in to, you end
up
there.  If not, zaptel sends back the correct IE which lets the telco handle 
it.

Failing that, I did this:

exten => 1234567,1,Blah
exten => 1234568,1,Blah
exten => 1234569,1,Blah
exten => 1234570,1,Blah
...
exten => _XXXXXXX,1,do_invalid_#_stuff_here

(I have 7 digits appear on my PRI)

-A.
