   Asterisk can interface either with a database such as MySQL, or
you can import a list of keys/values into AstDB.  You can then
add prompts for such passwords and read DTMF digit input from
the dial plan -- you can find more info at www.voip-info.org.

   You mean, expect a certain password based on calling number
or destination?  You can do that using existing pre-built in
global variables without having to touch the CDR file per se.
