0) Please post requests with a more meaningful subject. There are lots of 
ways to control calls.

1) Do you need to call an AGI? Can you use an absolute timeout of 1 
minute?

2) Is this your first AGI? While very simple, the AGI protocol is easy to 
violate.

3) You are executing "FastAGI." Is this required by the Java package you 
are using?

4) I'm just a 1.2 weenie and I've never used "G," but won't the "G" option 
transfer the calling party to "myscript" and the called party to 
"myscript+1?"

5) Not related to your issue, but "spinning" on the channel status doesn't 
look like a good idea. Adding a "wait(x)" to your while loop may help with 
CPU resource consumption.

6) More detail like what version of Asterisk and some console output with 
AGI debugging enabled may help.
