[Asterisk-Users] Same username on SIP & IAX?

[Chris A. Icide]

Brian,

You can dial multiple technology/channel at the same time in the following 
fashion:

Dial(SIP/bdarcy&Zap/5&IAX/bdarcy,30)

obviously you need to correctly format the tech/channel entries, but using 
this manner you could ring both local and remote systems at the same time, 
first to pick up gets the call.
