[Asterisk-Users] Leaving messages on answering machines (no its notspam)

[Areski]

Hello Clayton,

Is there chances that you share your work with the list :)
I am planning to create an Asterisk testing tool, 
- Generate call to an other Asterisk Box 
- Check if the Asterisk answer correctly
- Check if the application is well played, etc...

I guess your application would be a good starting point ;)
Ideas would be really appreciated!

Cheers,
Areski
