I believe this has to do with the AMP macro's being used in A at H. I am
seeing similar things.

For instance: One issue I have is that when a route has multiple trunks,
and the first trunk after a while returns with 'NOANSWER', it merrily
continues to the next trunk, which is not quite the behavior I'd expect.
Especially as the primary trunk (IAX/VoipBuster) is *much* cheaper (ie
free) as compared to the second trunk (Zap/g1), but the switch is made
without any message. This could mean that you might be talking to someone
on a different trunk, and instead of a free call, be paying normal fees.

This could become expensive if you're calling the USA from Europe!...

I am currently looking in to ways to enhance those macro's to respond more
reliably, as well as return more useful information (busy tone on busy and
no-answer, number disconnected info, etc.) when needed.

If I do get to a satifactory set of macro's, I will put them up on the
Wiki and let the list know... (I'm just starting on doing manual
configuring, so it will be a tough job to crack, but also a learning
experience...)
