What you want to do is connect the remote phone number to an internal extension.
You can do this in a couple of ways, using the Manager interface and the "Connect" command. Alternatively, you can create a call file in Asterisk's call spool (usually /var/spool/asterisk or whatever) which has the same makeup as the Connect command. All you do then is specify in your extensions something like the following: [outboundqueue] exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,Wait(1) exten => s,3,Queue(...) All other queue stuff should work from there. -Ken Shaw...
