  ++ Description

-Astral provides to set up a phone call by clicking on a link within  
Horde - most commonly associated with phone numbers listed in Turba.  
It achieves this by providing the telephony/dial service through an  
API. Astral interacts with Asterisk's Manager interface, using the  
Originate call to set up a call between the configured source  
extension and the phone number to be dialled. When a dial link is  
clicked, the configured source extension rings. When that is picked  
up, Asterisk dials the required number and connects it to the extension
+Astral provides a way to set up a phone call by clicking on a link  
within Horde - most commonly associated with phone numbers listed in  
Turba. It achieves this by providing the telephony/dial service  
through an API. Astral interacts with Asterisk's Manager interface  
over a TCP connection, using the Originate action to set up a call  
between the configured source extension and the phone number to be  
dialled. When a dial link is clicked, the configured source extension  
rings. When that is picked up, Asterisk dials the required number and  
connects it to the extension.
+
+Astral is primarily useful in a corporate context where telephony is  
provided by Asterisk and all Horde users have access to the same  
Asterisk server.
+
+Astral has no displayable pages. It attempts to set up the call,  
pushes a message about the response to the $notification object then  
redirects to the calling page.
