No one has desired this functionality enough to sit down and write a little
module to do it. However, as Rupa mentioned, the ESL allows for doing this
kind of thing very easily. You would need to know at least one language:
Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, TCL, C#(managed), or C.

The issue for most of us is this: If you have a script that is capable of
generating a .call file and dropping it into the spool directory then you're
about 90% of the way there already. Instead of creating a .call file you can
just use the ESL object and directly send your "originate" command.

Do a wiki search on "ESL" as well as the commands "api" and "bgapi" to see
some of the things you can do. Also, buy the new FS book and ready chapter
9. ;)
