not only) two ways to “auto-dial” from asterisk. You can use
Asterisk Manager or create a set of call files to use the pbx_spool function.
I’m more familiar with the latter. If you “dump” a set of
call files, Asterisk will try to do them all at once and respool them until it
can satisfy the request. You can “help” by touching the files with
a future date so * will try to process them more smoothly. There is a
reasonably nice PERL module called Asterisk::Outgoing, but you’ll have to
tweak it to use the time functionality.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

You are right. My questions are probably wide open. I probably would
have more specific. Any help I get would be great; if not I will figure it out
myself :).<br>
<br>
Steve, Geraint - It was kind of you both to respond back. Thanks guys for
your response. :)<br>
<br>
I am dCAP trained but just like anything else you do not get
everything/anything you want from there.<br>
<br>
Anyways I checked VOIP-info.org the information there was pretty basic. I was
trying to get some more insight to this autodialer stuff. If there is something
I can take leverage of that will be great (because I do not want reinvent the
wheel) or else (as sadi before) I will figure out. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sanjoy.<br>
