Actually no, the SIP extension stops ringing and Asterisk takes no further
action.

A 24/7 box is great as long as you have some runtime on batteries to smooth
out the occasional power failures and have a separate box to tinker with.
If you are the only person expecting calls on that line, then a predictable
result is less critical.  (ie: Asterisk/voicemail is off and you don't
answer and no other voicemail -> ring no answer)
