Thanks for pointing it out. I forgot to prepend that part to that test
script.

Mmm... looks like it :-/

Yes, it looks like it's not possible to reuse the FXO from either
extensions.conf or through an AGI script.

Since the callback must be automated, I guess I'll have to add the
script to "at" to schedule the call.
Too bad Asterisk doesn't provide a way to reuse a port after calling
Hangup().

Thank you.
