    Hi,

    first i want to thank you for this firmware, my first tries are quite successful :)

    There's just one thing i think isn't possible (yet) i'd really like to be able to use: recognition of the sepcial characters (* #) on incoming, external calls.
    For example, i'd like to be able to call 0123456789*11 from outside, where "*11" is the appendix to my telephone-number, and do certain tasks, like i can do with internal calls by creating the custom call script.
    The problem is, the CALLER variable contains my mobile-phone's number, of course, and i don't know how / if i can access the CALLED variable.

    a) Is this possible right now / How can i do it? If not, would it even be possible?
    b) Do you have any other ideas on how to execute special tasks from outside via mobile phone, if i don't have any access to my home network? Of course the call won't be answered, so (my quite ugly idea of) using the duration as indicator wouldn't be possible :P

    Kind regards,

    KV

    Sorry for maybe too late answer.
    It is not possible to see special characters or an appendix when calling the router from outside because the Broadcom Voip client (vodsl) only logs the calling number and we can't change it because it's closed source. The call monitor can't set the CALLER variable containing your special chars because it relies on the vodsl-log.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Too bad it's not possible.
