asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Help with simple callback application from newbie

Hi there,

I know that this has been covered many times with already but I still
can't seem to get it to work.  Basically, all I want to do is:

1) call the asterisk server from an external line
2) Say punch in a particular extension number
3) Asterisk then hangs up and calls me back based on my Caller ID or a
pre-determined number
4) I'm then provided with a dialtone to make outgoing calls 

I wanna do this cos I'm a cheapo dude with a free-incoming call plan on
my mobile. 

I've tried and failed at using app_qcall, Its not included in the latest
CVS download.. But I chucked the files in and re-installed asterisk.  No
directory qcall exists in /var/spool/asterisk... And I don't know if I
should create one and what file should I create within that folder?

Other solutions I've searched for show scripts for CAPI call back, etc..
But I just wanna callback on a zap channel.

Help? Is there like an easy way to do this? Im a layman who never
touched linux till a week ago.. By the was, I'm using a TDM22B with 2
anolog phones attached to 2 outgoing lines

Asterisk ROCKS!!!
