app_lcdial

Implement a new LCDial() application that performs Least Cost routing based on information defined in two MySQL tables (list of enabled providers, and rate for each call).
Instead of using Dial(number, options) you should use LCDial (number, options) and the call will be routed through the cheaper provider. If it fails, the next one will be tried, obtaining a good FailOver system.

Asterisk Zero Configuration Service (AZCS)

Provides a service to automate the installation and configuration of handsets. Once AZCS is installed on a network any handset plugged into a network point will be automatically configured. Within 60 seconds of the handset being plugged into the network, the phone will be fully operational without any user or administrator intervention.
AZCS allows handset to be deployed and made operational by any staff member eliminating the need to have technical staff involved in simple adds and moves.

AZCS also works in environments that contain multiple handsets types from varying vendors.
