[Asterisk-Users] Simple php script to monitor asterisk calls

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

It just got uglier, cause now it does something possibly intelligible 
with parked calls, voicemail leaving, voicemail checking, AGI running 
(probably even EAGI and DeadAGI too, 'cause of the preg stuff), 
BackGrounding sound files, Playbacking sound files, MeetMe conferences. 
    At least it does intelligible things here for us.

The only thing I can see left on the soon horizon is to implement 
callerid name as well as number into the bridged call display.

Comments, suggestions still welcome :P
