[Asterisk-Users] Page() application examples.

[Alexander Lopez]

I have setup a vanilla macro and dial plan example to use the new Page()
application.

I use the page context so that I can configure each extension uniquely,
to deal with the various different devices, if not I have a default
'CatchAll'.  This configuration will support any and all channel types
that can produce an auto-answer effect. Be it by the addition of a
variable or sending the call to another channel (Skinny and the Cisco
SIP Auto Answer Configuration by John Todd)

Please post any additions for particular hardware to the list or email
to me, I will assemble a list and submit a bug report to get it
committed to SVN.
