[asterisk-biz] Returning Error Codes

[Igor Hernandez]

Hey Bret,

Thanks for the response. What we actually need is nothing as complicated
as that. For whatever reason the client needs to see code 34 regardless
of the cause of call failure. So basically if the call doesn't connect
I'm supposed to send back code 34.

Does that make sense?
