[Asterisk-Users] Dialer

[Wiley Siler]

If this or any other example is available, I would be most thankful to
have it.

I got the go ahead on this project to day so now I have to start seeing
how to do this.

Thanks,
Wiley

I'm supposed to have a "mostly" canned script that will do this done
already.  It will pull the list of people to call out of a db and play
them the file specified in the db table.  Contact me offlist if you're
interested.  It will be done real soon but I'm not done testing yet.
