[A*UG] Line Pooling on PRI

[Brett Nemeroff]

No.. it depends on the product you have.. but in the PRI world, you don't so
much have hunt groups. The whole concept is a bit archaic.
the way "GROUP"s works in asterisk is that you can assign any call to one or
several GROUPs. It's like tagging a channel. Another function GROUP_COUNT
tells you how many calls already exist in that group. So you can do logic
that says something like if GROUP_COUNT(customerA) > 2 Then reject call else
set this channel to GROUP(customerA) and make call out.

See the group docs:

Good example of what I'm talking about here..
