The easy answer is: Yes... > Could he dial an special extension (i.e. 9999) and Asterisk will drop > any call until another special extension (i.e. 8888) is dialed? > > Suggestions? It all depends on how your dialplan works. If you have one macro that controls calls from extensions to other extensions, or outside lines, then you can implement 2 numbers to set/clear a "flag" in the astdb, then in the bits where to call other extensions, (or outside lines) call a macro that tests for the flag being set... You can use the extensions voicemail PIN to validate the unlocking too for futher security. Soooo....
