Use NRPE (active) or NSCA (passive) for the check result submission.

Write your test routine, house it on your remote server.

For NRPE, use 'check_nrpe -H <asteriskhost> -c <commandname>'.  Have the NRPE daemon listen on your asterisk box with the '<commandname>' defined in the 'nrpe.cfg' file.

For NSCA, the NSCA daemon listens on your Nagios server, and a cron-job runs your check and submits the results.

See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/addons.html for a better description and more documentation the check submission methods.
