That was an very good catch RR.
I had _thought_ the curly brackets were correct.

So I went through both ways (with and without the $ in $MYIP)
making sure there were two pairs of curlies and the result was the same.
Calling a POTS phone on my desk from the SIP phone, cannot hear myself 
talk into the POTS phone while listening on the SIP phone.

I'd really feel better with a method of examining the externip variable 
in CLI but that apparently can't happen.  However, each time I just use
externip=xx.xx.xx.xx the call works fine.
