a) Split into different Asterisks
b) Use directed pickup instead, not *8

Maybe we should change the groups from a bitmask to an AST_LIST

So I would have to implement privileges (who is allowed to pick up whose 
calls) manually - not easy ....

What we actually do is store a pickup group with a caller id.

So the AsteriskDB has ${DB/pickup/${CALLERID(num)}} and we set 
pickupmark to the same.

That way when someone dials 29 (what we use for pickup) it just checks 
that group - no limitations on number of groups that way.

Hey Matt,

Would share some config file code with us?
