[asterisk-users] What could be stopping "Disconnect Call" feature from working (set in features.txt)

[Jonathan H]

You, sir, are a genius. Thank you!

I spent ages staring at
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+14+Application_Dial
but as soon as you gave than /n, everything is working again and I
found https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Local+Channel+Optimization
which explains more.

Thank you again.
