[asterisk-users] Typical Asterisk Company

[Douglas Garstang]

Well, as I said below...

Can the user configure, on a per extension basis:
- incoming and outgoing black-lists and white-lists with hierarchical management so that a company can set blocking and have it override user settings etc.
- PIC codes, rate centers
- findme/followme with caller id based routing
- intra company 4 digit extension dialling,
- internal cid, external cid, cid override

I guess I'm just skeptical, given the ridiculous requirements for this deployment (apparently that's what customers want), that any GUI available today is going to be able to provide that.

Doug.
