Ok,I have to retract my last statement and give an update. 
It has been a while since I had played with the DID I have 
from them.

It is not an issue before the * box picks up. I set my 
incoming context to ring my VoIP phone for 20 seconds 
directly with using the IVR system and I had the ringing.

But when I restored it to no background on hold music and 
issued a dial command of Dial(SIP/2001,15,r) instead of 
Dial(SIP/2001,15,m), after the IVR plays its intro, I got 
no ringing on the calling end. Just dead air from 
LiveVoIP.

I then used this same test context by dialing in through a 
VP Connect account and after the initial greeting and 
moving to the Dial command, I got the ringing on the the 
calling end.

Sorry for the incorrect info the first time, it had just 
been quite a while since I had played with the Live 
account.
