That's a good question and one of those one's I've only ever done in that way. The direct-inward-dial and incoming-called number eliminate the two-stage dialing. I _think_ the incoming called-number of . is still a match, but least specific. Since the number are sent enbloc, it still matches. The .T for a destination pattern would match a digit by digit string as well. Maybe someone else will chime in with a more specific (or correct) answer.
