[Asterisk-Users] Call forwarding

[Jay Milk]

With GSM cell phones you have a few options.  My cell-phone is set up to
forward unavailable (busy, no answer, etc) calls to a special DID on my
* box.  When calls came in through that DID, I know they're forwarded
from the cell and they go into voice-mail after a few rings.

I'm planning on scripting this a little better so that calls which ring
our home extensions as well as my cell will be ignored when they come in
on my cell-DID within 3 seconds of ringing on the initial DID.
