I've been setting * at home just to train myself with it. Here is what I 
have:

- IVR menu
- music on hold / transfer
- voicemail
- transparent Zap or IAX routing
- I can call home, dial a pin and make long distance call through IAX

I have just been *scratching* the surface of * but I'm already puzzled 
with its power...

Can you set up conferencing? How about the 'directory' application with 
a few thoushand generated users? How about having a couple of people 
ringing the same extension and demonstrating wait queues?

BTW I can still remember them adventure games books where you could read 
a paragraph, make a choice (eventually casting a dice), jump to another 
paragraph, etc. An 'adventure' roleplaying AGI application like that 
would be awesome :-)
