Use something like:
[1000]
callerid="Ben" <1000>
context=sip
type=friend
secret=1234
host=dynamic
defaultip=youraddress
mailbox=1000

Optionally:
qualify=500
canreinvite=no
nat=yes

You might want this to be:
exten => 1000,1,Dial(SIP/1000 at 1000,20,tr)

Make sure you didn't set the 'outbound proxy' setting on the phone, that 
will force everything to the proxy.

Set all the 'cisco' entries to '1000' in this case.

I have several 7960s working with Asterisk, so I can help you out more 
if you need it.
