asterisk users - Dec 2003 - Probably not hard but I'm just a no0b with *

How do I get * to take an incoming oh323 call and let it dial a number?

I.E. if my boss sets up netmeeting with the gateway as my.pabxbox.com, 
whenever he enters a number to dial it always just dials into the pabx 
rather than calling that number

i.e. he wants to call 12345 he types it in and presses dial but it just 
goes to the message....

also I have developed an H323 client app which I thought I would dial 
the numbers as XXX@pabx.com where XXX is the number and pabx.com is the 
asterisk machine....

Peace out,

The context for the incoming H.323 calls must contain
entries for the extensions you want to handle. The initial extension
of the incoming H.323 calls is just the called number.

Setup the extension 12345:

[incoming-h323]
...
exten => 12345,1,Dial(...)
