[Asterisk-Users] Hunt Groups

[Chris Shaw]

I don't think this will work... In fact I'm almost positive it wouldn't....
You should consider looking at queues like Robert suggested... When looking
at queues.conf remember that you don't need to use Agents, you can use any
technology such as SIP or ZAP.  Correct me if I'm wrong guys...

If you don't want to use queues, you could ring all of the extensions
simultaneously with no timeout like this:

exten 1234,1,Dial(SIP/5551212&SIP/5551213&SIP/5551214&SIP/5551215)

Just to answer your question, yes, the dial() command will increment by 1 on
a timeout (i.e. the person doesn't answer in the specified time) and 100 on
a busy or in the case of a SIP channel, when the device isn't registered...
