Make sure to look in _users.conf_ not sip/iax.conf for the GUI
configuration per user.
It is pretty sip, you have iax or sip (hasiax or hassip=yes), then a
hostname, and then
a register statement (if it's a trunk, you have registersip, or
registeriax).
If the hostname is dynamic, do not set to register, then have someone
register to you!
(hints the dynamic part, just like sip/iax.conf)
