Flynn,

Yes, that makes sense. However, in my case I have incoming calls
arriving on an IAX channel from a PSTN gateway. I think the concept is
the same.

That said, if incoming calls have access to the internal context so they
can call internal extension doesn't that assume that hey have the
ability to dial outbound as well if internal context users can? This is
what my testing suggests unless I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks much!

Chad

Here's what I mean:

extensions.conf
================
[internal]
; define your internal ppl to this context
include => extensions
exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN:1})

zapata.conf
===========
[channels]
; TDM40B card
signalling=fxo_ks
context=internal
channel => 1-4

iax.conf
========
[1000]
type=friend
context=internal
disallow=all
allow=gsm
host=dynamic
username=1000
secret=1000

so this meanas the four extensions plugged in to the TDM40B's all will
fall into 
the "internal" extension, as does the IAX user "1000". So if you have
additional 
office staff at extensions "5001", "5002" and "5003" connected via SIP,
in 
sip.conf you'd create those entries and set "context=internal" in the
respective 
entries.

Hope this helps!
