Guys I am ready to pay a 100 USD for this. Here is what I am planning to do,

Here is what I want my A2B to do,

1. Lets say there are 100 channels.
2. During the peak hours all of the channels are occupied and callers over 100 are not able to access.
3. Your cron would check the number of channels occupied.
4. If all the channels are occupied, then the first caller would be disconnected.
5. The callers should be disconnected in FIFO (First In First Out) sequence
6. The disconnection should occur based upon who was on the phone for the longest period of time.

If I may give an advice, this feature will draw your customers away from your service. When you said that the caller who was on the phone for the longest period of time will be the first to be disconnected, you have to keep in mind that that "longest period of time" may be in the order or just 30 seconds or less if your system is very busy. It might be best to tell new callers that all circuits are busy rather than disconnecting active calls.

Cheers

We can always set a minimum duration such as 15, 20 minutes before it actually disconnects a caller. What do you say ?

Hmmm, not sure about disconnecting your most profitable caller, the phrase, "a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush" springs to mind.

What about adding more capacity?

I'm offering unlimited to Canada, UK and USA. I'm targeting a huge customer base out there. Adding capacity would definitely be the first choice but I know for a fact that I would still need an intelligent piece of code to release my channels if they are occupied for too long.

I just want the birds in the bush NOT to wait for too long before they get serviced.

I think this would be your best bet then.
