And *all* of those people are placing calls *in* to asterisk to get into those contexts. :-) When you pick up a telephone wired into an FXS port; asterisk sees an incoming request for dialtone. When you pick up your SIP phone and dial; it must match a friend or user entry or you'll never get in. When your IAX softphone client makes a call, again, it must match a friend or user entry. These are *all* incoming calls as far as Asterisk is concerned. You get dumped into a specific part of the dialplan (the context specified) and you tell Asterisk what they can dial. Internal extensions, external peers, Zap channels or even applications... the second half of all of this is the outgoing part, when Asterisk Dial()s. -A. -A. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
