[asterisk-users] Between a dumb client and a capable server...

Sorry about the top-posting...but that's what my app does!

I think it's doable, but would take me six months to work it out! Let's see who jumps in.

I can certainly find those.

Do you believe it is possible for one SIP client to place a call, and for 
another one then to contact the server which is handling it and send commands 
to manage that call in progress?

I'm puzzled about how the authentication would work for identifying the call 
to the server in such a way that it thinks the request is valid, and acts upon 
it.

I can put the same SIP credentials (username & password) into two clients, but 
they'd be placing quite independent calls through the server - how could I get 
a second client to manipulate a call placed by the first one?

It's built into a bigger application and can't just be swapped out.
