[Asterisk-Users] Dial multiple extensions, but different variables/timeouts

[C F]

try the local channel.
the local channel allows you to have:

[default]
exten => 123,1,Dial(${DEVICE1},30,tr)
exten => 124,1,Dial(${DEVICE2},45,tr)
exten => 125,1,Dial(Local/123 at default&Local/124 at default)

that will go thru the dial plan of 123 and 124. However, when I tested
it for what I wanted to use it, it didn't realy work the way I wanted.
Try it and if it works, please post back, with examples.

Thanks
C F
