[asterisk-dev] devicestate

[Joel Vandal]

I've made several test using the 'queue-state' branches (now integrated 
on SVN trunk) and I can confirm that this solve all our problems using 
Queue and Local channels, we can now specify an alternate device to 
monitor the state. I have also "backport" the change to Asterisk 1.4.17 
and already using it on multiple call center since last week.

>> Once the call was answered the status changed to In Use, and then 
>> everything worked as expected. I had a patch made that caused Queue() to 
>> not deliver calls to members with a status of Unknown -or- In Use, and 
>> that solved my problem for now, but not entirely sure what issues I'll 
>> run into in the future because of it :)
