There is no "line where the call is made". SIP is a complex, 
asynchronous protocol, and initiating a call involves quite a few steps.

Amazingly, though, they all start with the function named 'sip_call' in 
chan_sip.c. Imagine that, who would have thought that the function that 
initiates calls would be named 'sip_call'... must be pretty hard for 
people to believe, since you weren't able to find it <G>
