Asterisk 1.6
I have 3 BroadVox GoAnywhere registered trunks and 24 Excel paths. My outbound Route is
_NXXNXXXXXX Unrestricted Dial Out (2 trunks) SIP/BroadVox, SIP/Excel 10 digit calling. In my mind i'm thinking on the 4th call it should use the Excel trunk but instead I get.
BVX Trunk #: 8175837547 -> 8173712003 EXCEEDED LIMIT of 3
A call from 8175837547 to 8173712003 was rejected on trunk because the limit of 3 calls has been reached and completing this call would exceed the limit.
If you believe this message is mistaken, or would no longer like to receive this message, please open a ticket with our NOC. If you would like to increase your concurrent call sessions, please contact our customer service department or your sales rep.

Is this correct? My SSH shows Error 600 busy when the 4th call is made. Thanks for any help on this. As you can tell I am new to all of this so please be as specific as possible.
Issue resolved
I just wanted to post the resolution for this issue. I added call limit=3 to match the number of BroadVox trunks I've got and now it rolls to Excel on the fourth call. Any help with my other questions would be appreciated.

If you read up on asterisk
If you read up on asterisk 1.6 you will see that cal-limit is no longer to be used. Don't get comfortable with that setting.
Thank you for the heads up
Thank you could you please post some specific resources for us newbies. Maybe a list of must read articles or websites for the beginning Asterisk user. I am trying to absorb this material as quickly as possible but my main resource has been the thirdlane fourms. Where does one go for the material covered in the dCAP certification process?
For the written it all comes
For the written it all comes out of the future of telephony book. Work through that book using their examples. After you feel good about that, the bootcamp class is a good resource
Not on a busy. You have to get a 503 error to continue in dialplan. You don't want 2x the traffic for legit busy signals. I think you're on the wrong broadvox product if you want multiple carriers.
