Bill,
Yeah, of course Asterisk can do that. You could buy a turn-key system
and have that be part of it's features. You could use it for that solely.
I see that there are online services which are pay per use as well. I
just noticed http://www.notifyquick.com/howto/canned_call.asp
Here's a product that allows you to use your voicemodem for $300, or
even free, if you don't mind a Voicent plug in a ddition to your message
and have only 20 numbers.

Hi Brian,
I'm actually looking for something not quite as complex. I need a
system that I can enter a list of numbers (won't change often-mostly
cell phones), and once a night have it call the list of numbers and
play a message.
I can work with a pre-recorded message where I just call in and
activate the sequence. I would prefer to be able to call in each
night and leave a new message, and then have it call each number and
replay the message.
I'm sure asterisk would do this, but is probably overkill for my
needs. I'm looking for something simple to setup and administer, so
that down the road I can turn it over to someone else to maintain the
list.
I have an older PC and a voice-capable modem that I can use for this.
I can also give it a public IP so it can be administered from anywhere.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
Are you talking about an Auto Attendant that can provide precanned
messages for callers like a call center does? For example, your
cellular providers's support center will make you key in various option
codes to talk to the correct department. If that's what you're looking
for, use Asterisk PBX. It's an open-source PBX server.

I can help you set up a server, if needed.

Any hints, tips, suggestions, software recommendations, or other
advice will be greatly appreciated.
