[asterisk-users] Que on A2Billing

Not so.
The point of BUTTONS and LIGHTS is for users. Remember them?

Press a button to answer a call under a flashing light.
Press a button to grab a call on hold under a light flashing at a 
different rate
Press a button to place an external call.

Too many more reasons to enumerate.

Also, NEVER say "never"


Think out of the ( Asterisk ) box!
