[Asterisk-Dev] Working on new feature.. need comments

[Brian Wilkins]

Right, but if I do AGI(${SCRIPT}, variables), then I do not need the Dial() 
Application. The SCRIPT variable would be used to create different scripts 
for different accounts per se and each peer is assigned to an account. So 
essentially you could have SIP_DIGIUM.AGI, SIP_VONAGE.AGI, 
SIP_BROADVOICE.AGI, get it? Then under each SIP peer you could define either

[markster]
type=friend
..
..
script=SIP_BROADVOICE.AGI


[brian]
type=friend
..
..
script=SIP_VONAGE.AGI

or if the variables for the peers are exclusive to each peer, then setvar= 
would work like you said.

Later on I may want to use the Dial() command like you stated, but that's not 
what I am going for.
