If you do add a bounty, I'll add a little bit $50US or so to it. I know
there are others that have written or would like a script like this as
it was discussed a few months ago on this list I believe.

Hi Scott, everything thing you are looking to do is possible.
You might need to offer a bounty for someone if you don't feel
comfortable to do it yourself but checkout the call agi scripts.
Cheers,
Dean

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Telephoning Announcements -- Suggestions?
In the subdivision where I live, we have a well that time to time has
problems. Currently, our trustees call me, I take a message, and
then call the people on our "phone calling tree" and give them the
message. They, in turn, pass the message on to the rest of the
residents.
We have a few problems with the way this works -- people don't bother
to relay the message, or, when they do relay the message, they get
the message wrong.
I was thinking about using an Asterisk server -- kind of a "hot line"
for our subdivision. A trustee can call in and record an
announcement, and the server would phone each resident and play the
announcement to them. At other times we can use the server to play
"up and coming events" and so on.
Obviously, I need to create the menus and authenticate the trustees,
record the message, and have that trigger an agi to create outbound
dial files -- and some sort of cron or agi job to get statistics of
who has acknowledged the message and who hasn't so that the trustee
can phone the resident themselves.
I'm thinking about a small PC located at one of the trustees' house
(or perhaps my own) with one phone line interface. Alas, no high
speed internet here so I can't use VOIP instead of a POTS phone line.
Does anyone have suggestions/tips/cautions for me? Are there any
applications that might help me? Should I create a program that
makes the calls via the manager interface, etc.
Thanks,
Scott Nelson
