asterisk users - Jun 2005 - Always forward an extension?

Here's something I haven't been able to discover as of yet - I need to
set up a "direct link" from my Asterisk box to an external line...
basically I need to be able to pick up an internal extension and have
it call a local phone number.

This is call forwarding, I know - the question that I have is how do I
set it up so that the extension always forwards.  There will never be
a client logging in to it.

Thoughts, experiences, ideas?

Thanks!
Hatton

You're trying way too hard on this one.

exten => 555,1,Dial(Zap/g1/18005551212)

its no different than anything else in the PBX just set it up.. no  
need to forward it.

replace 555 with the internal extension you wished to
