from http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/trunk/configs/sip.conf.sample

;match_auth_username=yes        ; if available, match user entry using the
                                ; 'username' field from the authentication line
                                ; instead of the From: field.
;allowguest=no                  ; Allow or reject guest calls (default is yes)
				; If your Asterisk is connected to the Internet
				; and you have allowguest=yes
				; you want to check which services you offer everyone
				; out there, by enabling them in the default context (see below).
;allowsubscribe=no              ; Disable support for subscriptions.
(Default is yes)
allowoverlap=no                 ; Disable overlap dialing support.
(Default is yes) <--- btw this one is funny
;promiscredir = no              ; If yes, allows 302 or REDIR to
non-local SIP address
                                ; Note that promiscredir when
redirects are made to the
                                ; local system will cause loops since
Asterisk is incapable
                                ; of performing a "hairpin" call.
;callcounter = yes              ; Enable call counters on devices.
This can be set per
                                ; device too.
