<DIV><SPAN class=384414600-06102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm fairly new to
Asterisk, but I've been searching the archives extensively and haven't seen much
information on using IVR for more than menus. I'd like to prompt a caller
to enter his ID (employee, customer, account, etc). The business use I have in
mind requires a five-digit ID. Then I need to be able to capture the ID
entered, validate it (probably by playing it back with say-digit) and then store
the five-digit ID into a variable that I can pass to another program.

<DIV><SPAN class=384414600-06102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Obviously, what
we're aiming for is CTI. Once I have the Customer ID, I should be able to
grab that customer's information from a database and pass it along with the call
to the next available agent in a queue. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=384414600-06102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've noticed that
its pretty easy to incorporate perl scripts into Asterisk, but I haven't seen an
answer to capturing dialed digits.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
