This is a working number, but the span to the destination is not active or there is a problem sending messages to this destination. ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

You could make it busy by using it though. Thanks, Steve ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

Re: [asterisk-users] How to busy out zap channels
Anthony: Yes, you are right, sometimes that could happen but if Brian is going to take out of service his box is possible that he is monitoring this box and he could detect this behavior. Also, if you have a hung channel in your box, this channel is actually in use and will replicate the requirement that Brian needs (block the incoming calls from the bearer channels of that PRI trunk). Anyway, this could be a solution for me (that is better that connecting the channels to empty meetme rooms) but maybe not for Brian. I hope this works well for him.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to busy out zap channels
Very nasty indeed. Through my experience with PRI, the TelCo switchs are not that present to deal with. Your method will work, kind of. However, if the TelCo decides to send you a call during that split second of idle, how are you going to handle it. The best way is still to call your TelCo to take the span down.
