[VoIP] Returning CNET numbers

[Greg Blakely]

I have hacked the "test numbers" page on www.ckts.info to relect a
suggested pattern:

Switch Info   1-NNX-X001
1000 Hz       1-NNX-X002
Time of Day   1-NNX-X003


Okay, the last one is a stretch, but it was hard to figure how to turn
'2525' into 'Xsomething.'

I'm sticking with the zeroes since it is unlikely that those of us who
have legacy PBXes would have anything other than the switchboard on the
ZERO level.  (Did I say that right?)

And, if there is a switchboard, it could possibly be reached at

Switchboard   1-NNX-X000

And, yes, the probe will have to learn to deal with whatever a user
chooses as their 1004 Hz number.

I am thinking that there should be a field on the myswitches.php page
for "test tone" or "test number."

That way, the status bot can do a php or sql query from the database in
order for it to know what to dial for each switch.  If set up like that,
the program would have little to do in order to adapt to the new system.
