No, there is no cleaner way, because it's too channel specific and it 
might change after you ask for the status anyway... regexten is really 
what you want.

I do have a pending patch in bug 3626 that would help; it deactivates an 
entire context if a peer is unregistered, or is registered and stops 
communicating... if you put the peers you care about each into their own 
contexts that would suffice. That patch will be expanded to include 
replacement regexten functionality as well.

What value do you see in knowing whether the peer is registered or not 
before trying to dial it?
