[asterisk-users] asterisk answering machine

[Cosmin Prund]

If you're learning Asterisk right now, you might try using basic
Dialplan first, so less things may go wrong. There's a dialplan function
that does what you want:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+GotoIfTime
As for white-listing CallerId's, you may use simple GotoIf's in the
Dialplan, or you may use an AGI to consult a CallerId database (plain
text file). 

On the other hand, if you've got your AGI going, stick to that!

Subject: [asterisk-users] asterisk answering machine

I'm learning asterisk, and decided to make myself an answering machine 
out of it.  Seems pretty straightforward to use an agi (perl) to do what

I want.

What I want is:
Answer the phone.
check for time of the day
If TOD is during the time I sleep I announce i'm sleeping & prompt 
caller to dial1 (or whatever) to connect to my extension & then go to 
voicemail if busy/una, otherwise go straight to voicemail.if no digit 
was pressed.

If TOD is during normal waking hours or caller ID matches whitelisted 
numbers, just connect to my extension & then go to voicemail if
busy/una.

I'm nearly done, but I had a thought: before I re-invent the wheel, does

anyone know if this has already been done?  My searches only saw basic 
answering machines examples.
