a future time (I use 60 seconds plus the expected length of the call).
The PERL module Asterisk::Outgoing is supposed to handle it, but I had to
modify mine to make it work. I can send my changes to anyone who is interested.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Is
it possible to place multiple phone numbers in a single outbound .call
file? If I try doing this, only the last phone number in the file is
called. </span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>However,
if I use 1 file per phone number, then Asterisk attempts to process all
generated CALL files at once, incrementing the retry count for each that cannot
be called because the designated channel is busy. For example if I have a
list of 10 numbers and use 3 lines, the first three numbers will be process and
the next 7 will have their retry increment bumped to 2. A few minutes
later, the next 3 numbers are called and the remaining for are bumped to retry
3 and so on.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
