[Asterisk-Users] Able to tell if phone is registered?

[Tim Pushor]

Kevin,

Thanks for the reply, and thats what I am doing now, but I would really 
like to know in advance if a particular phone has been registered before 
taking a certain action.

I was wondering if I could do something with regexten, but seemed like a 
messy solution. Is there any other way? I don't mind getting my hands 
dirty with perl or C, but I wouldn't really know where to start ...

Thanks,
Tim
