when a user punchers a number after authentication, astcc will look at the
routes table for a number match. Then it will pickup the trunk and go to
trunks table and look for a match. That will tell astcc to use SIP or Local
or ZAP (technology) and the name of the peer to construct the dial string.
example, if technology is sip, then you should have a context in the
sip.conf, with the name given in path filed (selected) of trunks table.

no matter what you put in here, user will be not charge for any call which
is not successful.
connect charge applies for any successful call. Which is just an additional
charge per call basis.
