<div>Thanks for the input.</div><div><br></div>Yep, a busy feature on zaptel is an absolute necessary. See, this is a sort of problem that comes back to everyone and goes away quickly, hence the feature wasn't developed probably. But it will make a great addition and will help people in situations like this.<div>

</div>Nope - unplugging a line that is in a hunt will result in Ring-No-Answer.<br>
Ditto for previous advice to destroy the zap channel or to leave it out of<br>
the zaptel configuration. You need to busy out that line. You can only<br>
do this onsite as far as I know. Or maybe run a script that continually<br>
takes that channel offhook and dials something benign...<br>

</div>I totally agree. A "busy out" application would be a wonderful addition<br>
:) I complained about this a few years back... in the meantime, when I<br>
need to do such a thing, I busy it out by shorting it at the block.<br>
