That is basically what I did for a customer. I have a DB that is filtered pursuant to 47 CFR 64.1200 and 16 CFR 310 (US federal laws concerning these types of systems -- not calling to the US, dont worry about it). I wrote some tools to make that a snap. I then have 1-N clients pull from the DB servier via HTTP to get the next number to dial and context to goto. The dialplan updates the DB via HTTP so the status of a given number is known and prevents duplicate calls. I added answering machine detection to my asterisk server and a few other things to make the dialing slightly better. The way it works they can have many many calling systems if they need, nothing has to be local to each other. Reports can be generated off any data that is available (timestamps of events, status of calls, etc). This is perfect for dr appt reminders, batch calls saying 'your product has been shipped' etc. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
