[Asterisk-Users] busy tone detection works like a charm for me now

[Dan]

Hi all,

The lates version of Asterisk, using

busydetect=yes
busycount=5

in zapata.conf and [nl] as country works like a charm for my PSTN
connection.
I am located in Romania. It seems that the number of real heard busy tones
is busycount value -1 .
Have tried with busycount=5 and I hear 4 tones, tried with busycount=10 and
I hear 9 tones.

BR,
Dan
