thanks for enlightening. So you mean, if I have 3 lines when the caller dialled the first line and it was busy, the call will be diverted to the next two available lines in random?

Lito I'm assuming you are talking about analog lines as PRI's will do this more-or-less naturally. This is a telco feature as opposed to an Asterisk feature. Here in Bell Canada country they call it "Ringer Equivalence". Call your local carrier and they should be able to tell you what they call it in their marketing world. You tell the telco which lines you want the calls to "roll" to then all three will terminate calls to the pilot number. Now it doesn't work exactly as you had described - it doesn't move the call so as to free up the first port. It merely says the first port is busy and terminates the next call on the next port in sequence. This means you can't count on which line is "available" at any time. For outbound, you need to put the three lines in an Asterisk group and test the group for availability to select an available line to dial out on. dbc. -- David Cook _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
