You want Asterisk to be a client of iConnectHere?

Yes - that's easily possible.

Put a "peer" entry in your sip.conf
Probably, put a "register =>" for the peer in your sip.conf
Add Dial(SIP/...) entries in your extensions.conf

For example:

sip.conf

[iconnecthere]
type=peer
host=sipauth.deltathree.com
username=youruserid
secret=yourpword

If you have incoming number you'll also need a "register".

In extensions.conf you now Dial(SIP/number at iconnecthere)
