asterisk users - Jan 2006 - making wakeup feature call phone number, not extension?

How would one go about setting up the wakeup feature of Asterisk to NOT 
call an extension, but to call a phone number?

My setup works great for wakeup on local extensions, but I'd like to set 
it up to call external phone numbers automatically and play a specific 
sound file (to remind people of upcoming hair stylist appointments). 

I suppose either there'd have to be a web interface to use for this 
(entering a time for the reminder - and a phone number to call) or 
change the voice prompt to ask for a phone number to use, if not the 
extension called from.

I'm sure it's doable - but I am now knowledgeable enough.  I searched 
and didn't find any instructions on the web for something like this.

Thanks for any help...

I dont know the wakeup feature. But what you want can be done with a
web interface generating ".call" files with the timestamp of the day,
hour and time when you want to hear the reminder. Just read in
voip-info about the ".call" files and if you have doubts we will be
glad to help you.
