For b) try using DIALSTATUS to determine where to go next. For a) I'm
not sure it's a good idea to route the call based on the latency of a
particular measurement so it would get complicated. Some of the
geniuses on this list may be able to set up an averaging ystem to
predict the reliability of a provider based on its response times
within the last hour or something. Even then, it can't really predict
the future. If computing could do that, we'd all be rich on the stock
market ;)
