I did see the wiki items: "asterisk auto-dial out deliver message" and 
"Asterisk Auto-dial out" and think I may be able to muddle my way 
through getting that working (although that may be questionable) but is 
it feasable to integrate this wit a website, where a user enters a phone 
number in a form, then asterisk somehow gets this information from the 
website and it gets added to a database or some way for Asterisk to 
gather that information and make the phone calls automatically?  Maybe 
with another option on what type of notification it would be (furnace 
filter, 1 month reminder, 2 month reminder) based on a variable in the 
form?

Meanwhile, I'll work on at least getting the auto dialout with playing a 
pre-recorded file working.
