> As far as I know, iconnect[snip]explicitly disallows multiple call presentations. The iconnect thing was discussed on the list a month or two back.
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 ?

You should be able to hand off calls from Iconnecthere to whatever context you want, based on the IP address of the host that sends you the call. The number in the call is irrelevant.
To answer a few of the other threads that seem to be unraveling out of this Subject:
- anyone that offers "all-you-can-eat" dialplans will never, ever let you have more than one session outbound at a time. If you find anyone that does, let me know. I have some pipelining I need to test out...
- Voicepulse and Nufone allow simultaneous calls, since they charge per minute. As far as they're concerned, theoretically, you could fire up 200 sessions at once - that's great for them, they get paid on all of 'em.
- It is the rumor that Vonage does not support simultaneous sessions due to back-office billing system problems which prevent their systems from discovering that there are multiple calls happening on the same number/account. This leads me to conclude that they do not have a billing system that is fully functional, thus their plan of "all you can eat" is not 100% market-driven, thus their policy of "you don't get the password to your box or you'll cram us and it will be weeks before we realize we're bleeding." Someone from Vonage who is reading this list (I'm sure there are several of you) may reply to refute this chain of assumptions if you wish, but I doubt you will. :-)
