MC,
I think I worked out that I need to use ${DIALSTATUS} anyway. Don't really see
what 'channel status' is for...

MC,
But.... the channel status command is documented as an AGI command itself.
If you look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI, you'll see the
'channel status' command listed there as an AGI command.
I can't post my dial plan, as I don't really have one. Well, I do, and it looks
like this:
exten => _X.,1,AGI(router.py)
Everything is being controlled from the script. The script calls the dial()
command. Problem is that dial() doesn't return a -1 (or anything) until after
the call is complete. That makes it a BIT tough to check the status of a call.
If dial() doesn't return until after the call completes, it means the channel
status AGI command is a waste of time.
Doug.

Doug,
I get the distinct impression that CHANNEL STATUS is to be used
independently of the dial() app. At least that's what I see when I read
up on AGI, CHANNEL STATUS and dial(). Can you post a snip of the
dialplan you've got? I'd like to tinker around with it.
Thanks,
MC
