[Freeswitch-users] How to get the hook state?

[Rupa Schomaker]

I think you can (mostly) solved this using mod_limit and some dialplan work.

Something like:

if you want the second call to ring, limit should be set to 2 or higher.
for either VM or busy, limit should be set to 1

if limit was reached and the user wants busy, send back busy
if limit was reached and the user wants VM, transfer to voicemail

Remember that you have to check the limit both on outbound calls and on
inbound calls so that you get the desired behavior.  Also, you'll have to
special handle outbound calls so they don't fail if the limit is reached
(think transfer).
