[Asterisk-Users] Calls from web interface

There are basically two ways to implement this.

The first one assumes that your webserver is running on the same machine
as Asterisk. Then your web application will have to create a .call file
in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.
Examples on how do this are available at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out

The second option is to use the Manager API which allows you to trigger
a call via TCP/IP.
