I red that discussion, it was more on multiple outgoing calls. I noticed with Iconnect, the sip invite message always comes as the [EMAIL PROTECTED] So if I use two PSTN numbers to call same Iconnect provided number, it arrives at asterisk as two different calls. Iconnect seems like completely depends on the SIP response from * or any SIP end point to figure out the call status (busy or on call). That is why I think, it is IMPOSSIBLE to set the * to receive a call coming from Iconnect to a particular context, other than general section, in it's sip.conf. (I didn't hear from any one who got this working) I think this is how, fwd and others are offering access numbers in many US States. Using a single number many callers can get to their (fwd) network. This is my observation, please correct me if I am wrong ? SW > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen R.
