Nope, asterisk does the bridging. Asterisk can talk to SIP phones and H323 gateways/phones. It can also cross connect them.

Since I have SIP users plugged into asterisk, I have a dial plan that looks something like:

exten => 100,1,Macro(local_sip_user,SIP/bill)
exten => 101,1,Macro(local_sip_user,SIP/bob)
exten => 102,1,Macro(local_sip_user,SIP/steve)
exten => _XXX,1,Macro(call_ccm,${EXTEN})
exten => _8XXX,1,Macro(call_ccm,${EXTEN:1})

So, if you dial 100-102, you get a sip call, but if you dial 103, it would try to dial my CCM. If you dial 8100, it would call CCM anyway.

From the cisco side, I have some similar logic. That's pretty much it.

answer was that asterisk could not do the job :O
The truth is that my setup should be fairly simple ... i do not need
any "cool" feature (voicemail and the like). I just need to call from
one side to the other, for a reduced amount of users (so name mapping
could even be manual ... no problem).
