[Asterisk-Users] Has anyone tried using a Sipura-3000 as an FXO device for *?

As I said, I don't have one of these yet.  Do you happen to know what
the box would do if the dialplan said to route the call to <:@gw0>
and that port was already in use?

If the call simply fails then that's a wasted facility, and I wouldn't
use it;  If Asterisk was in charge then it could loop the call back to
the FXO or sent it via another route.  I suspect that the SPA would
try the <:gw0> first and then fall back to the SIP link, either
automatically or as an option, before giving up.

So it would seem.  I can't wait to get my hands on one in September.
