asterisk users - Jan 2007 - queues - limiting ringing calls to queue members

Hello,
I'm using asterisk queues, for reception phone, and I have small problem: I
have only one phone as queue member, and the problem is, that ALL channels
waiting in queue are ringing on it. And if there are too many people ringing on
it, it's not possible to use attended transfer then...
Is it possible to limit maximum ringing calls from queue? or some other tip?
thanks a lot in advance!
best regards
Nik

Nikola,

  Check the maxlen parameter for the queue... Also check the sample
  queues.conf distributed with Asterisk source, which somehow includes
  queue parameter documentation.

  If set, maxlen will limit the number of calls in the queue.

  Cheers,

My GXP2000 does what you are talking about.  I solved the problem by  
assigning lines 2-4 to other extensions which are not queue agents.   
Then those lines don't ring.
