[asterisk-users] Dial multiple extensions and know who picks up call

[Jim Dickenson]

Depending on version you are using you could use the M option on the  
Dial command. I use 1.6.0.x and it works there. This causes a macro to  
be executed when someone answers the call. There you have access to  
many channel variables. Use DumpChan() to see what is available and go  
from there.
