Hi Guys, This might be a dumb question but I can't seem to find an answer by Googling. I have oodles of FXO ports configured on Xorcom Astribanks. On the Astribank each set of 8 FXO ports forms a zaptel/openzap/freetdm span. Now if a trunk consists of an integral multiple of 8 FXO ports it is easy to just dial out on the first available channel: <action application="bridge" data="freetdm/1/a/$1|freetdm/2/a/$1"/> This grabs the first available channel out of 16 FXO ports. But what is the "right" way to do it when I need to use 1.5 spans (i.e. 12 FXO ports)? Is there such a thing as a virtual span that can be built out of individual FXO ports? I have a feeling I'm missing something rather obvious. Thanks, -Slim -- Jeroen C. "Slim" van Gelderen Cheers, -Slim -- Jeroen C.
