For our INITIAL development, we > are going to do hardcoding of the "RE-WRITTEN" numbers. this i agree with you as an issue. each termination carrier may have different tech prefixes so each call attempt will have to have a new re-written number. just my comments. regards ray ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
