[asterisk-users] Auto Dialer question

[Tim St. Pierre]

You need to make a cron job that runs a script that creates a spool file.

If you dump a file into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ it will create a call 
based on the information within the file.  Do a search for asterisk spool 
outgoing for all the formats and examples.  I have used it and it works 
rather well.
