[Serusers] Forwarding to another number if busy

[Greg Fausak]

Right,

I will write a module, something like:

 alias()

Except, perhaps...

 forward()

Is that the right approach?  The a forward table in
 the database that contains (at least) :

User_id  forward_id

Where user_id is a number, and if that number is
 busy (or unavailable) then forward the request to forward_id.

Now that I think about it, this is exactly like the
 alias() call, isn't it?
