Thanks Steve - but wouldn't this mean that when the person we called hangs up, Asterisk will call them again, with the analog phone line? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Your dialplan for the 'h' context would then apply. --Tim -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Channel failover
How do you configure Asterisk to dial, in order, each channel from a group of channels until it either finds an available channel, or runs out of channels? We recently got VoIP, so when we make a call, Asterisk should first try to make the call with VoIP, but in case either our VoIP or our internet service are down, Asterisk should then try to make the call with our old school analog phone line I searched for configuration parameters to put channels in a group, and then dial that group in order until an available channel is found - no luck I also searched the sample configurations for an example, likewise without luck Finally I expected that this topic would be covered in the O'Reilly Asterisk book, http://asteriskdocs.org/ - but again, I found nothing on this topic specifically How do you configure Asterisk to accomplish this? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
