There are 2 basic ways to do this.  You can in your dialplan do a read
and presumably a db check for the extension (I assume you dont want
hardcoded accounts, but ...)

The other way is via an agi that does the same thing.  AGIs generally
take more cpu than equivalent dialplan entries for short lived
applications, however for a long lived agi it may not (although it can
take more ram).
