It may sound dumb, but I would like the sytem to announce that it is 
attempting to dial my softphone before it does, as there can be a 
noticable quality/reliability drop (when sending the call out to me via 
SIP/VPN at a client site), that is acceptable as I am able to take calls 
remotely, but I would like to let the person at the other end know first ..

Thanks,
Tim
