Why? Depends on the hardware, I run an * server on a VM.

exten => _0[1-7]XXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(DAHDI/3/9${EXTEN})

A bit old fashioned bit I prexfix everything with a 9 for an out side 
(have two lines, work and home, 4 is home 9 is work, work is a feature 
line. So my outdial is ...

work=dahdi/3
home=dahdi/4

for work
exten => _9.,1,verbose(dialing ${EXTEN} from ${work_no})
exten => _9.,n,Set(MONITOR_FILENAME=O-${EXTEN})
exten => _9.,n,MixMonitor(${MONITOR_FILENAME}.wav,bv(1))
exten => _9.,n,Dial(${work}/${EXTEN})

for home
exten => _4.,1,verbose(dialing ${EXTEN} from ${home_no}/${CALLERID(num)})
exten => _4.,n,Set(MONITOR_FILENAME=O-${EXTEN})
exten => _4.,n,MixMonitor(${MONITOR_FILENAME}.wav,bv(1))
exten => _4.,n,Dial(${home}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _4.,n,Hangup

I could probably do something using the extension number the call 
originates from and then I could have something like...

exten => _7XXXXXX, 1, dial(${home}/${EXTEN}) #local numbers

exten => _0XXXXXXXXX, 1, dial($home}/$EXTEN}); #National numbers these 
can be 9 or 10 long so need another line.

exten => _00., 1, dial($home}/$EXTEN}); #International numbers

The advantage of using the specific number length is the dialplan will 
complete quickly, or at least it will with my sccp cisco phones.

looks useful

all looks pretty hard to me! So on reflection I might just stick with a 
4 and a 9 since it is what I have and it works...
