In this case, if the channel does not get hungup then the next execution will be a busy, letting the caller know the call was not completed. In the dialplan macro I normally use it checks for the call status and acts accordingly as seen below. If you are new to Asterisk syntax this is probably confusing. If you are following it, I don't exit on a BUSY because I frequently get a BUSY when there is actually a congestion or channel problem. Anyhow, how often is a line actually busy these days?
