[asterisk-users] Understanding Congestion to incoming caller

[Michelle Dupuis]

It's an IAX trunk (over ADSL - so I don't want to tie up another 128k of
bandwidth sending a congestion tone)
 
Thanks

I have an * installation which will refuse incoming callers once a max (5
callers) is reached.  Caller 6 and up should be notified of
congestion...without network load on my trunk.


On which tech, does this trunk rely ?
Is it a SIP trunk ?
 

  How would I do this?
 
The voipinfo wiki shows playing a congestion tone to the caller, but that
seems stupid since I'm consuming bandwidth to send a tone.
 
I also tried just responding with the congestion command, but the 6th+ call
just hears a hangup when calling in.
 
Can someone explain how this should be done?
 
Thanks,
MD
