asterisk users - Mar 2005 - NuFone + VoIPJet = busy busy busy

Hi List,

I'm using VoIPJet and NuFone as a fallback, and it seems that both of 
them are circuit busy!

Also it seems that VoIPJet takes forever to return 'circuit busy' while 
NuFone does it instantly.

At any rate, is there like a reliable third VoIP provider I can use for 
fallback when the two others are busy?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.

the following is on voipjet's site:

Please note we are having a temporary glitch with our New York
location. Please send traffic to our West Coast Premium Server until
the problem is fixed sometime today. New SERVER IP: 69.25.60.30

although i guess an email to this effect would have been nice.

What exactly is the return code for nufone?  Your dialplan should look 
something like this:

exten => whatever,1,Dial(user@switch-1/${EXTEN},,g)
exten => whatever,2,NoOp(DIALSTATUS IS ${DIALSTATUS}, HANGUPCAUSE IS 
${HANGUPCAUSE})
exten => whatever,3,Hangup

(obviously if you do other magic in your dialplan this needs to be adjusted.  
The important part is the 'g' flag to Dial (go on after hangup), and the
NoOp
which echos the dialstatus and hangupcause variables to the console.

Nufone is rock-solid stable.  I have been using them for about 5kmin/month 
over the past year with *no* issues, which is why I'd like to see what
you're
getting back for a dialstatus and hangupcause.

How are you determining a fallback condition from one voip to another?
