asterisk users - May 2004 - How to Echo extension number to caller?

I need to dial an extension that tells me what extension I'm dialing from. 

I'm running a bunch of analog phones off a channel bank to * over a T1. I
have the following in extensions.conf. 

exten => 98,1,SayDigits(${EXTEN})

This says the digits the caller enters on the keypad, not the extension they
are calling from.

Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!

Paul

[general]
critch=Zap/15

[extensions]
exten => 112,1,dial(${critch}) ; primary extension

exten => 113,1,dial(${critch}) ; former employee, cover extension

exten => 5,1,dial(${critch}) ; Tech support entry

[did]
exten => 9012,1,dial(${critch}) ; did entry

[testing]
exten => 46,1,dial(${critch}) ; in bound from another *

What extension am I???? Your problem is in not understanding that you
are at an interface, not an extension.  

If you wanted to create a lookup table of interfaces to primary
extensions, that would be possible. You would use something like CHANNEL
for that.

Try:


exten => *53,1,SayDigits(${CALLERIDNUM})

It's called caller id.
