[Asterisk-Users] Dialer

[Darren Wiebe]

I'm supposed to have a "mostly" canned script that will do this done 
already.  It will pull the list of people to call out of a db and play 
them the file specified in the db table.  Contact me offlist if you're 
interested.  It will be done real soon but I'm not done testing yet.
