[asterisk-users] question about more than one drop file

[dave cantera]

shawn,
you can set an archive variable in the .call file to 'yes' and it will 
save it in ./outgoing_done... if there is now outbound line availible, 
the .call file is updated (appended to) as per the status... * will keep 
trying till it completes the calls or the number of retries is reached.  
then it will archive the .call file if archive=yes...  if you drop a ton 
of files in the ./outgoing, it tries to make all the calls at 'almost' 
once.   if you drop 20 .call files in there in about 2 seconds, all 
calls will initiate.  if you have less than 20 outbound lines, the will 
all get stalled (for lack of a better word) and queue up until an 
outbound line is freed up...
