asterisk users - Sep 2005 - SOHO Survey / Creative Asterisk Solutions

I hope the subject isn't too buzzword compliant :)

I'm just curious: What have people done with Asterisk? I'm particularly
interested in DIY projects and things that can be done on a small/home
office (or even hobbiest's) budget. If you have clever hacks or creative
functionality you've implemented, I'd love to hear what a few people
have
come up with.

Thanks! -Brian

Hehe... that's awesome :) I laughed out loud when I read it.

Someone else replied that they are going to use * to control their entry
gate system by cell phone. Nice.

Thanks for the examples! While reading over at
voip-info.org<http://voip-info.org>,
I found the auto-dial feature that can be combined with .call files. That
should be perfect for an idea I had -- use cron and POP3 to check my e-mail
account for any new messages from the transit authority... if there are any,
dial/ring home phones at 6am and playback a message to check e-mail for
possible morning commute problems. Not quite as good as drunkdial though :)
