It appears to me that this functionality is going to be required more and more
often by users of Asterisk, especially in larger organisations where employees
roam between home and an office or between offices.. I think I will add a
feature request for "Virtual Extensions" to bugs.digium.com becasue I
think it would be a valuable addition to Asterisk..

The application would probably be fairly simple for a developper to create but
for my limited progamming skills I would take ages to get even close to a
working solution..

Even something simple to keep the user/extension mapping static would be a major
step in the right direction and then it could be added to to work with the
queues and various other components of Askterisk..
