[Gregory Junker]

First, Asterisk-Users is the correct place for questions on usage of 
Asterisk, FYI. ;)

Second, yes, except for the part about "releasing" the incoming line;

> Once channel is available, it sends the call to the avail channel on T1 
> #4 and releases the inbound channel in came in on, etc....

If you hang up the incoming call then.... ;)

> Also...are there any 'step by step' IVR samples setup somewhere?  Can 
> you write IVR data that is captured (be it voice rec. or DTMF) to a 
> backend database, complete with ANI ??
