<br>
I'm using asterisk 1.8.7.0 and adding a fail over trunk in case my<br>
primary goes down. I'm wondering what the best method of checking if the<br>
primary being up is.<br>
<br>
Is DIALSTATUS suitable for this or is there any good SIP headers to look<br>
at after the Dial step?<br>
<br>
Thanks in Advance<br>
