asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Call File Routing

Here is a sample call file that I am using:

MaxRetries: 2
extension: 9997
Channel: IAX2/USERID:USERPASSWORD@hagenhomes/14037422000
CallerID: LAKEVIEW 4037422000

Anyway, this works fine.  The problem is that specifying the channel 
this way does not handle problems very well.  If "hagenhomes" is down,
the call will not go through.  I would like to have the outgoing call 
routed as per one of my outgoing extensions, is this possible?  I have 
tried to get the server to register to itself but have been unable to 
succeed.  Any suggestions?

I have not yet tried it, but earlier today I had a similar question and
Twisted in IRC gave me the following response:

twisted	Channel: Local/exten@context	
twisted	Application: Dial	
twisted	and then the arguments go in the appropriate place

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much Jeremy.  This works perfectly.  I have been 
struggling for a long time to get this to work but it now works 
perfectly.  I have added a comment to the wiki:
