* is tricky with terminology.

You didn't create an "extension" 100, you created a SIP peer/user named 
"100", which the softphone connects as.

"Extensions" (that are within "contexts") are lists of commands that * 
will execute if that extension is dialed.  So what you want is to create 
an extension 100 that will have the list of commands to dial your SIP 
phone.  Your current set up is trying (by virtue of the Dial command in 
the from-broadvoice context) to find extension 100 in the default 
context, which is where you would have the commands to dial your SIP phone.

This is an unnecessarily convoluted way of doing things.

Here's an alternative:



[from-broadvoice]
exten => 100,1,Answer
exten => 100,2,Wait(1)
exten => 100,3,Dial(SIP/100,25)
exten => 100,4,Voicemail(u${EXTEN})
exten => 100,5,Hangup
exten => 100,104,Voicemail(b${EXTEN})
exten => 100,105,Hangup


Here the sequence:

1) Incoming SIP call from Broadvoice lands you in the from-broadvoice 
context, looking for extension 100. (Why this is 100 is still a mystery, 
but it appears to be working that way, so we'll assume that's correct 
and move on.)

2) * starts executing the commands in 'priority' order, meaning it will 
answer the Broadvoice call, wait a second, then attempt to dial SIP peer 
'100', which is your soft phone.

3) If you answer the phone, * bridges the two channels and it's done.

4) If you don't answer the phone or for some reason it can't connect to 
your soft phone, it will instead connect the Broadvoice call to the 
voicemail for mailbox 100, and play the unavailable message.  When the 
voicemail application ends, it hangs up the two channels and is done.

5) If your softphone indicates busy, * will jump to n+101 (n being 3 
here), which means it will connect the Broadvoice call to voicemail for 
mailbox 100, but play the busy message instead, and then hangup when the 
voicemail application is done.


Later, you can change things so that you have and IVR system instead, 
and start to use macros, etc., and then you'll learn about the Goto 
command and all.  But first get this simple thing working.

You didn't include in your email the register => command, can you show?
