asterisk users - Nov 2003 - Picking an open channel (FXO port) for outbo und calls

Thanks to everyone for your quick responses to this question.  I'm very
excited about the Asterisk project, and the growing community seems to be
very active these days.  Hopefully when the time comes for our county's
transition to VoIP we may be able to go for an Asterisk-based solution.

hi.
use groups :)

zapata.conf
group=1
signalling=blah
channel=1-2
etc etc

then in extension.conf, just use
exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1},90,Tt)

or better, add in globals section
TRUNK=Zap/g1

and
exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:1},90,Tt)
in outbound context
