 Denis,

 There was some discussion around this feature in app_followme in the
IRC chat rooms and it was decided that for at least the 1.4 release of
app_followme, the group wanted to "keep it simple" and not have this
feature.

 We may add this in the future, but I can tell you that I do plan to
"realtime" enable the application for the 1.6 cycle which probably
gives you more or less the same functionality.

BJ, I believe that asteiskdb is before realtime. It does not give the
same functionality, since asterisk apps can only update asteriskdb
thru the DP, and built in commands.
