[Asterisk-Users] Always forward an extension?

[C. Hatton Humphrey]

Here's something I haven't been able to discover as of yet - I need to
set up a "direct link" from my Asterisk box to an external line...
basically I need to be able to pick up an internal extension and have
it call a local phone number.

This is call forwarding, I know - the question that I have is how do I
set it up so that the extension always forwards.  There will never be
a client logging in to it.

Thoughts, experiences, ideas?

Thanks!
Hatton
