vicidial on asterisk 1.4 - autofallthrough

[kegler]

I have been looking into vicidial with a 1.4 installation of asterisk for the past few days. One issue that I ran across was that dialing a valid extension that was not registered (i.e, valid phone not turned on), the call immediately fails with a 503 Service Unavailable. In asterisk 1.2, the default behavior is to timeout and play the "invalid" prompt.

I found that by setting the autofallthrough=no in the [general] section of the extensions.conf, the behavior is returned back to the 1.2 functionality which seems more desirable.

I wanted to post this information for anyone working with 1.4 (perhaps it should be added to the 1.4 extensions.conf?), and also to ask the community if there might be any adverse effects of turning off autofallthrough.

Thanks, we have a 1.4 in Beta right now and I have passed that along to the tech in case it is helpful.
