Can the IAX2 trunking do the equivalent of "groups" in Zaptel?  What I'm
needing to do is take a whole bunch of H.323 incoming calls and spread
them out across many T1s (more than what would go into a single machine).

I suppose I could do something like this in extensions.conf

[incomingh323]

exten => s,1,Dial(IAX2/foo:foo at machine1.psychoses.org)
exten => s,102,Dial(IAX2/foo:foo at machine2.psychoses.org)
exten => s,203,Dial(IAX2/foo:foo at machine3.psychoses.org)
etc etc etc


And then us Dial(Zap/g1) on each of the machines in the incomingiax context.

Then I just have to put a G.729 codec on each of the remote machines to
handle the G.729 to TDM codecing.
