Yep, if you have two calls going to the same number at the same time the second will be busy. Meaning it will go to voicemail. Meaning it will be answered. Meaning the other leg will be dropped. The 0111 and the 1 is just so that Asterisk doesn't think that both calls are to the same destination and then only make one call. -- Cheers, Matt Riddell _______________________________________________ http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News) http://www.venturevoip.com/pabx_on_disk.php (PABX on a Disk) http://www.venturevoip.com/exchange.php (Full ITSP Solution) http://www.venturevoip.com/cc.php (Call Centre Solutions)
