Aha, that's interesting! I recently noticed exactly the same with my
IAX provider in the UK. If I try to call a PSTN number that is busy,
I do not get BUSY status passed back via IAX; instead, the call is
answered, and then in-band congestion tones are played. This is pretty
useless of course, for CTI reporting of call failures.

I raised a ticket with them, and they say they can reproduce the fault
but haven't yet managed to fix it.

I wonder if it is a bug in more recent versions of Asterisk?

Cheers
