[Asterisk-Users] Picking an open channel (FXO port) for outbound calls

[Brancaleoni Matteo]

hi.
use groups :)

zapata.conf
group=1
signalling=blah
channel=1-2
etc etc

then in extension.conf, just use
exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1},90,Tt)

or better, add in globals section
TRUNK=Zap/g1

and
exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:1},90,Tt)
in outbound context
