Yes.

Do you mean that you need something more than:

Two ways:
1.  look in your asterisk source directory for a file called
sample.call.  This will show you what you need to put into your spool
directory for * to place a call to a number.
2.  using `asterisk -rx console dial xxxx` you can call a number, but
it will connect from the console

Two above is not much good in and of itself, but you weren't specific
about what you're trying to do.  One is probably what you need.
