one thing here - if someone (like me, sometimes) is using the cnosole
as a phone, it is very unconvenient having to dial -er, type- the
extra keyword before each command; even with history editing supoprt,
it's a lot of keypresses.
I wonder if someone has ideas on the better way to improve this.
Ideally i would like to enter in 'character mode' so you can issue
commands (or play digits) typing a single character. But i am not
sure if this operating mode can be supported by the cli routines,
probably not.
The alternative would be to write a small frontend that connects to
asterisk through the manager interface and issues console commands ?

suggestions ?

cheers
