Please pardon the absolute noob questions. Someone has asked me to interface with Asterisk and have it dial 4 numbers in succession to have it track down an on-call person.

My initial reaction was to write an AGI program and return all 4 numbers and have Asterisk hunt them - can Asterisk do this?

If not, is it possible to write an AGI program that gets all 4 numbers, then somehow hands them one-by-one to Asterisk? If so, how does Asterisk manage the communication of "failed to complete the call" with the AGI app? Does the AGI just monitor stdin looking for status messages and returns the next number?

If Asterisk/AGI can do both, is the first method better than the second? It certainly seems easier.

Thanks in advance!

Rgds,

Bret
