asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Capturing DIALSTATUS on a PARTICULAR channel if multiple-dialling?

Using 1.0.9:

If I have:

exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/5555&SIP/12345@192.168.1.1)

How can I return the DIALSTATUS variable for the second SIP channel ONLY if
the second SIP channel is busy, regardless of the dialstatus of the first
SIP channel? What I want is, if the second SIP channel is busy go to n+1 or
n+101 regardless of the status of the first SIP channel.

 You'd need to modify the code of app_dial.c for 1.0.9 to make this
happen. There isn't a way to do it as it is now.

Dang. Thanks for that. Time to put my thinking cap on to do this in a more
unobtrusive manner.

I have found out that you can pattern-match the ${DIALEDPEERNUMBER} variable
to determine who picked up the phone. ${DIALEDPEERNUMBER} will contain tne
extension number of the person that picked up the call, however it will NOT
contain the TECHNOLOGY/ part of the call. 

Crude, but it works. Hope this helps someone in the future.
