[asterisk-biz] Asterisk on Mac OS X...newbie questions

[Rick Dwyer]

Hello list.

I have looked at PHLink and PhoneValet and neither seem to be able to  
do what I need, so I am looking at Asterisk.

What I want to do is allow callers to call a our phone line and  
unsubscribe their phone number from our call center list.  So,  
basically, when they call in, they would be greeted with a message  
something like: "please enter your 10 digit phone number followed by  
the pound sign".  They would then have the number read back to them to  
confirm it or reenter it.  Once confirmed, it would write the phone  
number to a text file for importing into MySQL or FileMaker.

Is what I am trying to accomplish within the realm of what Asterisk  
can do on the Mac platform... or any platform... and if so, how  
difficult of an install is it?  I have read varying accounts from it  
being a breeze to being frustrating.

TIA
