Greetings *`s, There was a thread some time back about making calls via * from a web interface...ie user clicks number on web page and call is made... I`ve googled with a few words, checked the wiki, and tried to scan through the archives, but no joy... Any links/pointers/keywords appreciated...

The first one assumes that your webserver is running on the same machine as Asterisk. Then your web application will have to create a .call file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing. Examples on how do this are available at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out The second option is to use the Manager API which allows you to trigger a call via TCP/IP.
