Re: [asterisk-users] Agent Callback Login in 1.4

It shouldn't be that hard to translate the AEL example into traditional
dialplan language; in fact, Asterisk does that itself when you load the
AEL into memory, so if you load it yourself and then do a 'dialplan
show' you'll see the translated version, which you can then copy into
your database.

You can also use 'aelparse -w' to dump extensions.ael as extensions.ael.dump to assist in this.  The branching and labeling of priorities is designed for efficiency, not readability, so you'll have to go over it carefully to get a good feel for how AEL constructs are turned into extensions.

According to Murf, one of the purposes of this switch was to allow people to write dialplan in AEL and insert it into * installations where AEL was either not supported (1.2) or not viable (GUIs, realtime, resistance to change, etc.).
