Any ideas on how to do this one?
FWD requires an * on certain calls as a prefix character, but I cannot
seem to be able to get Prefix(*) to add that to the front of the
extension that is dialed... Setting up an extension that dials
(SIP/*31...@fwd.pulver.com) works just fine, but in trying to add the
prefix to a dialed number, it acts as if the Prefix command was not even
there, ie:
exten => 1,1,Prefix(*)
exten => *1,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@fwd.pulver.com)
would dial 1@fwd.pulver.com, and not *1@fwd.pulver.com
Any ideas?
Tnx
Kris

Instead, do: Dial(SIP/*${EXTEN}@fwd.pulver.com) -Tilghman
exten => _7XXXXX,2,Dial(SIP/*${EXTEN:1}@fwd.pulver.com)

I actually had tried this to no avail, but then noticed after digging through that it was in fact using the wrong entry to begin with... An simpler match was being made, and so it never got to that part of the dialplan... Thanks again! Kris
