Summary:                    Agent Status and outgoing calls
Description: 
Hello, 

I'm using Asterisk 1.4.21 e bellow I describe my problem : 

I've got a Call Center, with 30 agents running X-lite (I use
AgentCallbackLogin). 
These agentes make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls as well
(incoming calls from queues). 
When they are making calls, queues don't recognize agent status (still
remains Not in use), and then Asterisk tries to send calls from queues to
these agents. 

I've configured ringinuse = no,  call-limit in sip.conf (=1, type =
friend), and this is enough to avoid that these agents receive a call
ringing in the softphone's second line. This is ok. 

But call-limit is not enough to stop Asterisk from trying to send calls to
an agent, when this agent is making an outgoing call, or talking to another
agent, and so on. So Asterisk tries to send a call, then notes call-limit,
and only then tries another agent, after timeout. 

I have tried hints and subscriptions, but queues don't recognize hints. 

Asterisk doesn't try to send a call to an agent, only it this agent is
paused, or already talking to a caller from queues. 

Asterisk tries to send calls to agents even if they are :

- Making outgoing calls
- Talking to another agent
- Using Chanspy to monitor another agent
- Talking to a caller from a DID call (Direct Inward Dialing)


Is there a way by which I can get app_queue to set busy in these
conditions, so that I can stop Asterisk from trying to send a call to
agents ? 



Thanks.

deem this was not the right move :)
