If you want to dial a SIP number that's not on your local server, you
need to route it via dialplan logic. You could do this with a prefix
code if you want to be able to dial lots of numbers at the same server:

exten => _9NX.,1,Dial(SIP/user:pass at ekiga.net/${EXTEN:1})

or something more specific if you just want to connect to one:

exten => 602,1,Dial(SIP/user:pass at ekiga.net/*010600)

(Don't quote me on syntax; I don't have any SIP examples handy as I only
use it for local-network calls.)
