I was able to get the extension/channel problem fixed.  In version .03,
change the following lines, starting at line 329:

Old:

  while ( ( $canal, $nroboton ) = each(%botones) ) { 
                     if ( $nroboton eq $destino ) { 
                         $canal_destino = $canal; 
                         log_debug( "Si!!", 4 ); 
                     } 
                 } 
                 $canal_destino =~ s/.*\/(\d*)/$1/g;


New:

while ( ( $nroboton, $canal ) = each(%textos) ) { 
                     if ( $nroboton eq $destino ) { 
                         $canal_destino = $canal; 
                         log_debug( "Si!!", 4 ); 
                     } 
                 } 
                 $canal_destino =~ s/.*<(\d*)>.*/$1/g


Then, you'll need to change the name of the button to a new format:

ZAP/1,	1,		"Extension Name <1234>"

The extension number must be in <>'s.

I hope this helps.

That works well!  Thank you very much.  :)
