Michael and Tony, thank you for all your prompt comments on this - thank you for sharing your Patton expertise.

The motivation for my question is that we are in the process of defining the design approach to be used for addressing XECS-415. One of the avenues explored would require the gateway to be challenged by the sipX. I'm not so much interested about whether or not the gateway can REGISTER itself - the important part is that it can respond to a challenge. The hypothetical scenario would be like this: call comes in from PSTN. Gateway presents that incoming call to sipX over SIP. sipX, seeing that the domain part of the From: header matches its own concludes that the call originator is a local user and therefore challenges the caller to authenticate its identity. Keep in mind that this scenario is *very* hypothetical and I'm only mentioning it to satisfy your curiosity :) I know that Patton is one of the gateways that is used often with sipX and I wanted to check if it supported that capability before going any further. > > So while I think Patton has that capability, it's raised > questions why a PRI or FXO gateway would need to do that of > course.
