Asterisk call files:

(Replace Channel with dial commands to your telephony provider, change 
the context and extension with an appropriate).

Dialplan:

You'll probably just need some Playback and Read commands to play your

Agents and Queues:

You'll probably want to use static/fixed agents unless you have a whole 
bunch of agents logging in and out.
