	Well, I made the changes you suggested, reloaded AEL and got the same 
result:

     -- Executing macro("SIP/162-c7ac", "newPlaceCallPSTN")

     -- Executing Set("SIP/162-c7ac", "s =0") in new stack
   == Auto fallthrough, channel 'SIP/162-c7ac' status is 'UNKNOWN'

	... again, it seems that all processing is occuring properly, but 
ChanIsAvail() is not setting the AVAILCHAN as it should.  Suggestions?
