<div>I really need this for maintenance on media gateways. If I want to reboot one of my boxes that have DS1's plugged in to it, I want to do it gracefully. My ideal solution would be to have a 'stop new calls' from the CLI that would not only throw idal channels into a busy state, it would monitor active channels as to immediately put those channels into a busy state. This would allow me to take an entire box out of service gracefully.

<div>I agree that this is a much needed feature. Also, please don't limit this to just PRI's. A lot of us still use LD T1's. In my case, e&m_w.</div>
