[Asterisk-Users] still no solution for me, if one provider fails.

Peter,

I have to this some questions:
1. I have not seen "n(tryiax01)" construction before. Can you explain 
it, please and how you give this to the macro?
I know only exten => s,4,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)

2. Your macro covers only CHANUNAVAIL and CONGESTION
There are more than that, like BUSY, CANCEL, NOANSWER, ANSWER
What does each one of them exactly mean? When is it CONGESTION and when 
is it BUSY? When is CHANUNAVAIL and when NOANSWER? There is a very fine 
line between.

3. You are using the options tT the called and the calling party can 
transfer the call. When is important that the calling party can transfer 
a call? If we use tT or other options, we cannot use anymore 
canreinvite=yes   - or when and when can we not do that?
I did not add any options to my users, however, if they do not hear the 
ring, they are not happy! On the other side, I cannot route all calls 
through my *

4. If a call cannot be completed, than I would like to know it!!!
I tried to accomplish that once:
     ;exten => _9011Z.,513,SYSTEM(mail -s 'VPBX all lines in use' 
ronald at elmit.com)
However, this did not work. Do you know what I made wrong here?
