Forgot to mention.
We are using Polycom phones on asterisk 1.4.2
I tried the allpage agi, but it checks for all SIP peers connected to
the server.

First off, A lot of thanks to this list. I have learned ton from
reading through the posts this past year.
I need some advise.
I have two group of phones connected to a single server.
Group1= SIP/2503&SIP/2504
Group2=SIP/3501&SIP/3502
I'd like to be able to dial an extension and page a certain group of
phones only if ChanIsAvail returns 1.
I am not sure how to go about programming this. I though to write a
AGI script that reads a list of phones (one list per group), checks
ChanIsAvail then Pages the phone. I will have about 60 extensions
per group to Page. Will there be lag until all the phones get paged
and the script finishes?
The lag shouldn't be too large. Yet you don't have to use AGI to build a
list, and you don't even have to wait for all channels to be checked if I
understand the objective correctly. For example (untested),
exten => _Z.,1,ChanIsAvail(SIP/${EXTEN},j)
exten => _Z.,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
exten =>
_Z.,101,Set(group=$[$[${GROUP1}=~SIP/${EXTEN}]?${GROUP1}::${GROUP2}])
exten => _Z.,n,While(${group})
exten => _Z.,n(check),ChanIsAvail(${group},j)
exten => _Z.,n,Set(page=${${page}&${AVAILORIGCHAN}}); tweak if empty & not
acceptable
exten => _Z.,n,Dial(${page}); start dialing before list completes
exten => _Z.,n,Set(group=$[${group}=~${AVAILORIGCHAN}&*(.*)])
exten => _Z.,n,Endwhile
exten => _Z.,check+101,Congestion; or however way you want to handle no
channel available
You may need to tweak a bit to get it working but that's the spirit. Hope
this helps.

Then I thought maybe a Macro in the dialplan to dial a global var of
the group of phones, but that won't work. If phone isn't available,
none will get paged.
Has anyone done this before? I just don't know where to start.
Thanks
