asterisk users - Feb 2016 - Dial command: channel type detection

Hi,

Some of my users connect to my asterisk box using SIP, other using iax
(in users.conf, I set "hasiax=yes" for those users).

How do I detect which protocol some user is using ? I cannot find any
variable which contains that information.

Reason is: I need this information for the Dial() command to work with
all my users, as the protocol is needed when using this command.

Thanks a lot, regards,
Julien Sansonnens

Why can't you evaluate the CHANNEL variable with something like 
Set(TECHNOLOGY=${CUT(CHANNEL,/,1)})? One could also initially use a special
context for IAX
channels and set a variable. It depends on what you want to do.
