Aye - problem is - I have some 79XX phones for which I am very reliant on functionality from https://usecallmanager.nz/documentation-overview.html that is not in PJSIP.

> How you determine the right header to send on each channel is something you still need to do. For example, you could detect the user agent in your pre-dial handler and add the appropriate header. This is a common enough scenario for things like setting the ring cadence that I wrote an application to handle this for me.

OK - that is not quite as neat as I had hoped - but perfectly doable. And easy to wrap.

Thanks,
