[Asterisk-Users] Newbie Question

[Chris Shaw]

No.. this is all asterisk related stuff and with some neat AstDB logic in
your extension.conf this can be achieved...

What I mean is, you can use the asterisk builtin database to log people into
the phone and then with some fancy extension logic, you can retrieve the
login info and send the appropriate extension to the appropriate ZAP
channel...

To point you in the right direction, check these out:
