I think the whole idea of "busy" or "unavailable" is flawed.  Asterisk
sets ${CAUSECODE} with the cause of the call being cleared.  You can use
this to determine what you want to do.  For exmaple if the cause code
indicates "unallocated" then you should give the caller some indication
that they number they dialed is disconnected or no longer in service.

I think I posed an example of how I handle this.  Check the archives.
