Jon,

    Thank you very much! I too am in RR cloud.
I am just learning so set expectations accordingly.
Should we work out logistics outside of list?

My goal is to learn how to do the following:
1. Place call to POTS line of Asterisk#1
2. Authenticate myself. (pin code?)
3. Be dropped into voice menu that gives me choice of people to call.
4. select who to call and have Asterisk#1 tell Asterisk#2 to place the 
call out its PSTN line.
