Scott [forgot surname] from Emerging Technologies (search the list
messages from 2003) sent the attached script to the list during a
discussion about stress testing asterisk. Iirc it works by looping 2
T1/E1/PRI ports on the same box and sending calls back and forth. Think
it was possible also to loop calls between 2 asterisk boxes. Hope it is
helpful.
