Summary:                    Poor man's find-me/follow-me dialplan implementation
Description: 
Yes, you can use the app_followme, but sometimes you want to be able to
have finer levels of control over things yourself via the dialplan.

Here's an example of a simple FM/FM using the Local/ channel:

TRUNK=SIP/sip_proxy-out
...
CELL=${TRUNK}/2085551212
FM_CELL=Local/${CUT($CELL,/,3)}@follow-me
FM_DELAY=8
...
; list of extensions to dial for Philip
PHILIP=SIP/office_2&SIP/kitchen_1&${FM_CELL}
...
[redfish-extens]
...
exten => 111,1,NoOp(Exten: ${EXTEN})
same => n,Gosub(${EXTEN},stdexten(${PHILIP},redfish))
same => n,Goto(s,exten)
...
[follow-me]
exten => _NXXXXXXXXX,1,NoOp(Follow-me: ${EXTEN} From: ${CALLERID(num)})
same => n,Wait(${GLOBAL(FM_DELAY)})
same => n,Dial(${GLOBAL(TRUNK)}/${EXTEN})

Well, the problem with "blog posts" is they quickly get out of phase with
the current release.  If you go on voip-info.org for instance, the SLA
examples are for Asterisk 1.2.

This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

What about creating a subdirectory configs/extensions/ and then
extensions.conf.sample could include fragmentized examples from there?

As for "showing functionality", that's exactly what I was trying to show:
how to use the Local/ channel.  I figured the example might as well do
something useful.
