[asterisk-users] Re: PRI: sometimes Asterisk drop calls

[Giorgio Incantalupo]

Hi,
you are right. We have an outbound calls problem too. We tried not to 
use groups but to ask Asterisk for an available channel using 
"chanisavail" command. Asterisk gives us back the channel but when we 
try to call using that channel Asterisk says the channel is not 
available....and nobody is using it
Seems strange nobody noticed it before.

This risks to be a dangerous problem because this means Asterisk does 
not know which channels are really available and which are not. In other 
words if nobody explains why Asterisk behaves that way, it surely be 
possible to consider this as a bug.

Is there anybody trying to use chanisavail with success??

TIA
