Brian's right. But, the variable has to be a global, and is evaluated at the time the extensions.conf file is read in; so, really, it's a constant, and isn't evaluated at all at dial time. So, if you do one of those "dialplan show" things, you'll see that the variable has been substituted. Just had to fix a bug where AEL didn't provide the same service. murf -- Steve Murphy Software Developer Digium
