LOL....this is just what I was facing 4 days ago. Unfortunately, Asterisk doesn't provide a software feature in Zaptel to do a BUSY. But people on the list suggest that one should call the telephone company and ask them to busy it.<div>
<br></div><div>If you have the resource and don't mind the bill of calling the bad line with another line (which is still not full proof because someone else could be calling during that time) then check into spool files and do a little bashscript to run in put files in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing for calls every two minutes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Oh, if you have access to the box, short-circuit the telco line at the telco demarc.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out</a></div>
