[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.5

I want to create a setup so that when someone calls (and maybe an
autoattendent answers or VM) they can press an internal extension.  The
external extension will turn around and make an outgoing call to my cell
phone.

So I was reading through this article:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20auto-dial%20out

Example 3 seemed pretty close:
********
To create a call to 14109850123 on a SIP phones called bt101, here's the
file you'd create in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing (whatever name is good, of
course must be accessible and deletable by asterisk GNU/Linux user):

 Channel: SIP/bt101
 MaxRetries: 1
 RetryTime: 60
 WaitTime: 30
 #
 # Assuming that your outgoing call logic is kept in the
 #  context called [outgoing]
 #
 Context: outgoing
 Extension: 14109850123
 Priority: 1
********

I am not too clear on what Channel is, I am assuming this should be a trunk
name, so in my case it would be IAX/iax.cc.

I am not sure what the Context is referring too though. 

 In this case I am not sure what triggers this .call file.  I would prefer
to use a local extension to make the outgoing call.  That way I can change
the number at will.

Can anyone offer some suggestions to get me further.

Thanks,
Dave
