Bug#562140: document rasterisk

[Diana Cionoiu]

Hello Tzafrir,

If callgen.conf it's configured to make just one call and Yate it's 
started as a client it can be done.
It's true that it doesn't hangup after that.

I don't know what Jidanni wants to do but I will assume that him wants 
to fire a call from time to time without a daemon.
