asterisk users - May 2004 - Remote Call Forwarding

Hi,

I am trying to find remote call forwarding feature in asterisk. I don't know
is it possible or any one had already done it.

SBC (local Telco) provide such feature. I can call into my voicemail number,
and set the remote-call-forward to my cell or another number.

It is like person can remotely manage to set the call-forward or DND to
his/her extension.

Can this be doable in asterisk?

Philipp,

I already have that call-forwarding feature set into asterisk.

What I am looking is how to set that feature remotely by calling into your
voicemail or any given no. so that person can set call-forwarding remotely. 

Few of our sales people want this kind of feature, because if they are stuck
in traffic and expecting important call, so that, they can call from there
mobile into asterisk and set call-forward to there mobile.

With the current call-forwarding feature, person has to be there physically
to set this feature from there extension. 

If somebody has any example, it would be great help.

Regards,
KD

I use this setup for users to set call-forwarding remotely to another 
extension.

exten => *76,1,Read(extfrom,fwd-ext-from)
exten => *76,2,Read(extto,fwd-ext-to)
exten => *76,3,DBput(CF/${extfrom}=${extto})
exten => *76,4,Hangup
