The reason he might want it is because it's a feature offered by many POTS and Mobile Telcos. I know that's why I've played with it, the ITSPs and SIP Termination providers I consult for want to have as many if not more features to offer than the POTS and Mobile guys.

I don't really see why you want something to keep dialing until it gets through, but this would work. [something] 1,1,Dial(zap/,sip/, etc/whatever, 10) 1,n,gotoif[${DIALSTATUS}="BUSY"]?(LINEBUSY):(OTHER) 1,n(LINEBUSY), Wait(30) 1,n,goto(something,1,1) 1,n(OTHER), do something else Sure it is pretty rough, but the basics are there.
