works correctly if someone calls say 23 at foo.bar and thus gets put through to
extension 23. However, I have not been able to figure out or find the
documentation on  how to direct sip calls made to just foo.bar to be sent to
a default extension. In the sip debug it says its looking for the IP address
of the caller in the default context which of course it cant find and
rejects the call. Is there a way to force the extension?

Robert,

 I found the answer in a demo config somewhere. Put

exten => _.,1,Goto(mainmenu,s,1)

at the end of your conetxt.
