Our Asterisk boxes are always a mixup of boards, mixing R2, PRI and analog
channels, and those channels are grouped as inward trunks for routing PSTN
numbers to our SIP customers. The script I mentioned generates the conf
files based on customer selection on a web interface, and it was
easier/faster to write a generator outputing comma separated sequences of
active channels in each group and not worry about calculating sequential
channels in ranges. Too bad, time to rewrite the generator and start the
asterisk 1.6/dahdi migration.

Thank you very much for your always prompt and fast replys!
