Any IP phone? What do you mean? If you just want to allow the IP phone
to call out, it is very simple - place them all under the same user (or
even as guests). 

If you also need to be able to call *to* them then you really have to
decide how you identify them. Do you want to establish some
"sign-in" process?


First-off, Asterisk does not really have a concept of "extension"
internally. Unless you use the users.conf hack and make sure it doesn't
break.

The manager interface (as of 1.4) allows you to change configuration
files on the Asterisk server. 

Alternatively your interface can rewite files itself, or take some or
all information from an external storage (real-time / static real-time).
