using Asterisk.
=20
Is this all you want Asterisk to do? (eg as an application service
rather than provide telephony for the rest of the library as well), or
are you looking to have it replace your existing telephony equipment?
=20
As a suggestion if you google Trixbox and Nerd Vittles you will find a
fairly detailed explanation of how to set your Trixbox server (a version
of Asterisk) up to provide exactly what you are after. If this is too
complicated for you never fear, just post an email of your requirements
and ask for someone/body to 'build' you a version of Asterisk for a fee
and I'm sure you will have a few people offering bids in no time.

I would like to find out if Asterisk will allow you to call multiple
phone numbers with a pre-recorded message. I currently use a calling
system software to contact people to let them know they have a book
waiting for them at the public library. I'd also like to know if the
software will allow you to use a report to load a list of phone numbers
to contact. =20
