[asterisk-users] Asterisk Realtime Time Dial App

[Nick Khamis]

Hello David,

I have this discussion also on the -dev mailing list. and suggested
that we use a database hook to trigger the originate process (pleasee
see "Outbound Call Implementation"). However, compiling it directly
into asterisk as a realtime moodule insted of using AMI etc...

Cheers,

Nick.
