Hi all, Perhaps a no-brainer, but i think i am making my dialplan on my proxy too complicated. Normally, what you find in the examples is that you have to dial a specific number, other "9" or "0" for an external line. What i want to do is this: If you pre-pend a number with something like "*" then you can dial local defined numbers, otherwise everything goes through my iax-trunk-line. So for instance: "*#1" gives you a local welcome text "*#2" gives you the local echo function while "#1" gives you a remote welcome text "#2" gives you the remote echo function And ordinary numbers or sip's go straight extern: "0174539053" or "j.witvliet at a-domani.nl" should go to my main asterisk-server. Currently i'm doing it pattern-matching all numbers, and each upper +lower case character, but i wonder if it can be done simpler. Hans
