Hi, Andrew.

Yes, I see what you are saying. This sounds backwards,
but it's actually doing what I _want_ it to do. :)

>From what I see in the dialplan, what asterisk does
is, it loads the handlers for '#', 't' and 'i' as part
of vp_context, not as part of main_vp_context. That
actually happens to be as I wanted it.

main_vp_context is simply a place-holder for when I am
testing without the include file, and in those cases,
I simply comment out my include file and voila, those
handlers now handle the main_vp_context incoming
cases.

I know, I'm weird. :)

I'm seriously concerned that my problem may be caused
by some interaction between asterisk and voicepulse:
at the time of writing this, even with a simple
extensions.conf that has no included files at all, I
cannot dial in to the asterisk box ... all calls are
being rejected.

Now I've spent a few minutes on (non-toll-free) hold
with Voicepulse, sent them copies of my
extensions.conf and iax.conf and am waiting for a
response. Life really is exciting on the bleeding
edge.

Cheers,
Maya
