Might be worth pointing out that the sip device name is not an extension
number.  A lot of folks (particularly the web-based config editors) seem
to do that by default, and it confuses people into thinking the device
names are the extension number. You could just as easily make them
SIP/george or SIP/harry.  We started out with one of those web-based
systems that named them all with the extension number, so when we
started needing additional devices for the same extension (like
softphones) we just started tacking suffixes on them.  SIP/204 and
SIP/204soft for example.
