When I tried this test today, I know the far end wasn't answering 
because my colleague, his computer and his SIP phone were not there. So 
there is no way that that call should have been answered.

His extension definition is:

[internal]
exten=>201,1,Dial(${ALANB},10)
exten=>201,2,VoiceMail(u201)
exten=>201,3,Hangup()


The call was cleared down almost as soon as it was answered so I am 
unclear as to why this occurred.

Thanks

Alan
