[Asterisk-Users] Calling Extension directly

[Adam Lewis]

The general idea is that when * answers the call it would play back a
recording of something like "If you know the extension of the person
you are trying to reach, you may enter it at any time.  Mike Smith
201, John Michaels 202, Smithy Doe 203..." etc.

You can then include the internal extensions context in the IVR answer
context so that all the internal extensions works (be sure that the
internal extensions context doesn't include outgoing dialing,
otherwise people calling you will be able to make long distance calls
on your lines)

There are some sample configs on the wiki (voip-info.org).  One sample
actually does the directory through an AGI script that goes to
database:
