You could use DBPut and DBGet to create an entry in astdb.  We
use something very similar to this for call forwarding in our
stdexten macro.  The user would simply need to dial an exten 
to "log on/off".

You could probably do the entire bit using the db functions,
but this functionality could be easily created using a queue
with ringall as a strategy.  The user could log in from where
they are available, and the system will automatically log them
off if they don't answer.  This is a bit more complex 
especially if you have many remote extensions.

Just a couple of ideas,
