[cisco-voip] RP Wildcards A,B,C,D

[Jonathan Charles]

Yep, I just tried it with CCM 4.2(3) and it failed horrifically:

"Directory Number contains one or more invalid characters. Valid characters
for Directory Number are
numbers, the letter X, dashes and the following character(s):

* # [ ^ ] + ? !"

I guess all those IPT gurus on this board who keep saying it works never
tried it either...

I tried it on a CTI Route Point and a CTI port...
