Here's an update. With iax2 debugging enabled, when I
copy 1.call to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ here's
what I get on the console:

    -- Attempting call on IAX2/foo for 1<10 digit
ph#>@outgoingtest:1 (Retry 1)

So far as I can tell, I'm properly following the
directions listed at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out
So, based on the above, can anybody identify what's
going wrong? Asterisk is saying "No such
context/extension", but clearly there is such a
context, as shown in my files above.
