What I understood from Karl's message is that you need to create a peer in
sip.conf.  For example below:

-- sip.conf --
[myprovider]
type=peer
username=USERNAME
host=PROVIDER.COM
secret=SECRET
--

Then in extensions.conf, do the following:

--
exten => _7.,2,Dial(SIP/myprovider/${EXTEN:1})
--

This should work.  What Karl meant is that using the statement below:

--
exten => _7.,2,Dial(SIP/2000 at provider.com)
--

Will only work if you are dialilng a *specific* extension on provider.com.
The statement below:

--
exten => _7.,2,Dial(SIP/2000 at provider.com/${EXTEN:1})
--

Is illegal.
