You could use AGI (see the examples in the CVS tree) and save the number to a database, text file, etc, or your can use the built-in asterisk database if you only need to store one number at a time. --Ernest

You would need two FXS cards from Digium to connect to two telephones. Telephone -> FXS + Asterisk + FXO -> Wall (Telco) If you buy the cards from Digium they will assist you in installing them and getting things up and running. There is an excellent website http://www.voip-info.org/ with information that will assist with AGI development (and everything else as well). --Ernest
