I found the following on a FAQ page for Koha. Does anyone know if this is now available? I notice it says code would be written for it in 2009.
Where did you find the FAQ? If not on a *.koha-community.org site, like wiki.koha-community.org or www.koha-community.org then the information is most likely out of date and wrong As far as I know this was never submitted as a patch for Koha. Chris
Thanks in advance.

Is there a phone notification service for Koha?
The functionality must include ability to phone customers with a computerized voice message to let them know of items on hold ready to be picked up, and of items overdue. It also has the capacity to receive calls and renew items according to our policies. This is more than the average drs office that calls with appointment reminders- must be able to link approx 250,000 item and 40,000 borrower records.
The FOSS PBX system Asterisk ([1]http://www.asterisk.org/) could do what you propose, but would need additional programming for the Asterisk<->Koha interface.
This code is planned to be written in the summer of 2009.
