[VoIP] Additional Asterisk Features

[Shane Young]

Here is a short list of some of the things I have done:

Time and Temp
Wakeup Calls
Overhead paging to multiple buildings
Two-way Radio repeater controller
Annouce the name of the person who's come through the door based on  
their electronic card-key
dial a Random Bible verse
dial a rosary
dial a weather report
Audio Conferencing system

The most recent little "project" checks the location of my truck's GPS  
online every 60 seconds and when it's less than 1 mile from my house,  
it annouces my arrival over the speakers in the house.
