[asterisk-users] How to Dial a number with Sangoma PRI card?

[Mario]

That's ok if I want to dial through a group. But, for my specific 
requirements, I need to dial through a specific channel. I even need to 
use the ChanIsAvail application to discover which channels are available.

Thus, without using a group, which is the correct way to dial through a PRI?
