[VoIP] Calling all Asterisk 1.4 users

[Lee Spenadel]

I think I just found a reasonable workaround.  Instead of specifying n+101
as I did in the past, I just continued with the next sequential priority
number.  For example:

Old Asterisk 1.2 way:

;  PAX Dial Tone  8800
exten => _${OFFICECODE4}8800,1,Macro(late,${EXTEN})
exten => _${OFFICECODE4}8800,2,Dial(ZAP/g3/P/tHg)
exten => _${OFFICECODE4}8800,103,Macro(fastbusy)	

New way:
;  PAX Dial Tone  8800
exten => _${OFFICECODE4}8800,1,Macro(late,${EXTEN})
exten => _${OFFICECODE4}8800,2,Dial(ZAP/g3/P/tHg)
exten => _${OFFICECODE4}8800,3,Macro(fastbusy)	

The fastbusy macro is my congestion recording, which was executed upon the
error of the zap channels being in use in Asterisk 1.2.  I simply changed
that priority number to the next sequential number.  I only have two
channels each between Asterisk and the SxS and the PAX.  When call number
three arrives, the macro is executed properly.  Duncan, that may solve your
problem too.

Aye.  That's also sort of my problem ...

On a somewhat different note, is there a way to get Asterisk to try a
different trunk in the same (wink-start) group if it doesn't get a
wink soon enough?  Mine tend to just time out.
