If they want a decent interface to see the next "caller" before calling,
you might want to have a database that reads in all the numbers, then
users that grab the next "non-checked" number from the database. This
also gives you the option of leaving notes with that call (such as
calling back, etc). Then when ready, press the "call" button which
creates a call file.
