Hi Vardan,
I am using use_dnid=yes and then setting the Account Code in Asterisk
dialplan before sending the call to A2Billing _x. context which
automatically dials. So, before the call goes to A2Billing, I can check to
see if there is a channel up or not. I am not sure how the local channel you
mentioned works. Would appreciate it if you share.
Can you determine the number of channels in the queue?
One of my trunks allows for 3 calls certain time of the day and sometime it
allows for only 1 channel. Hence the need for this.
Thanks,
