[Asterisk-Users] Auto dial in Off Hook situation.

Yes, it is that simple, but of course there is a precursor 
requirement that you need to 1) be able to configure  your ATA, and

I'm somewhat confused as to why you would ever put those multitechs 
in there when you could go directly from the ATA to Asterisk, but I'm 
assuming you have some good reason.
