[asterisk-users] Suggestions on how to create a hunt or huntlike (rollover, multi-line) group or where to get one?

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

Try www.ipcomms.net .  I have been using their inbound 800 service for 
some time, and I know they do US/Canada DIDs.  You can spec the number of 
channels you want.

The provider I selected only offers 2 channels per number, and if I wanted more I'd have to switch my inbound unlimited plan to a metered plan which would end up costing too much. That's where I got the idea for a main huntgroup number that would go to each of the SIP lines I have that were not busy.
