Alex,

My Dial() command is Dial($LOCAL_DIAL) and for the first call
it is DAHDI/1/XXXX and for the second call it is DAHDI/2/XXX.
My LOCAL_DIAL has the complete dial command DAHDI/xx/YYYY
So I am using line 1 and line 2 of the PRI connection.
I dont see why the second call is saying - everyone busy or congested at 
this time.

These are the only 2 calls active. One on line 1 and one on line 2.
Only 2 of the 23 lines available am I using. All 23 lines are in the 
same group.

How do I tell why it thinks its busy? Thanks,

Jerry
