Yeah but FS is more than a *, it should be able to do a call center  
like job.

Then maybe better to keep it simple, and make another mod other than  
patch the code. What's your suggestion? And, do you think it would be  
easy to control my logic outside the module using lua/event_socket ?

Will do more test on this.
