[Serusers] call routing problem

[Steve Blair]

Maybe. I'm getting lost in what you are trying to accomplish. I thought 
you wanted
an inbound call through the gateway to the asterisk box to be presented 
with a
called party number of 040600 extracted from 08450040600. If this isn't 
the case
then please ignore my suggestion :-)
