What about Linux and OSX? What about AIX4? IAX2, I gather ;-)

You can basically do this using regexten .
When the IAX2 device from home connects, an entry gets generated in an a
context.
That entry is simply:
exten => 1234,1,NoOp
but without it the caller device will never reach, say,
exten => _1XXX,2,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN})
Or maybe actually to:
exten => _1XXX,1,Goto(sipcontext,${EXTEN})
because expressions (_*-s) have lower precedence.

This is basically the wrong question to ask, I guess. Please explain
what you want to do by "same extension number".

asterisk-user is quite busy. Gilad started one a year ago, and it dies
out. Revive it?
