[Asterisk-Users] Dynamic Zap/{channel} allocation for out going possible?

[Etienne Pretorius]

But what happens when the channel is busy etc?

It does not seem to drop the "Attempt a naitive bridge". I saw this in 
the commented out section and thought that it'll work but well it still 
hangs at "Attempting a naitive bridge".

[outgoing]                                                      ;Dial 
"0" on the phone for external line

exten => _0,1,Dial(Zap/g2/$EXTEN)
exten => _0,2,Goto(_0-${DIALSTATUS},1)                          ;Jump 
based on status (NOANSWER,BUSY,CHANUNAVAIL,CONGESTION,ANSWER)

exten => _0-ANSWER,1,Goto(_0,102)
exten => _0-.,1,Goto(_0,1)                                      ;Try 
another line

exten => _0,102,Congestion
exten => _0,103,Hangup


Hints?

Kind Regards
