[Asterisk-Users] Automated Dialing / Recording ?

[Rick Smith]

Cool... What I actually wanted to do with this is combine 
the * operator voice with the phone number and make a 
"web file" out of it...then let someone go down the list
by browsing a website.

Of course, a database app would store and create the call lists....

Thanks!  This gives me ammo.
