[asterisk-users] URGENT - How to exclude one ZAP channel for outgoin and incoming calls

[bruce bruce]

Indeed the telco has no interest in changing the cable, and by the time they
send someone to look at the cable it's a sunny day and everything dried out.
Hence the order for PRI. Can't wait to fire it up tomorrow.

But, taking this number out of hunt is not so much of an option now as it
will cost and take two weeks. LAZY ....anyhow, I will see if I can get to
busy the line.

Though, I wish there was something with zaptel driver that could do the
busy. As it may not be an option for everyone.

Thanks for all the input,
Bruce
