asterisk users - Dec 2006 - Re: regcontext, NoOp extension vanishes when extension reload, WORKING

OK this was an easy one to fix.  All I had to do is RTFM.  Note on the wiki:

ATTENTION: Make sure you take a look at bug report 7144

Just do what Kevin said, include the regcontext in whatever static
context you have the priority 2 extension and don't make a static
regcontext in extension.conf.  Let sip module do the rest.  Works
great.

Thanks Guys.
