asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Calling Asterisk PABX in "anonymous" mode...

Hi there,
is there any way to call Asterisk from a SIP phone, where you don't know
name and password of the caller?
I want to allow customers of a company to place a call over the Internet
without being registered on the Asterisk. This could be a very large number
of SIP clients, only a few will phone at the same time, but I don't want to
create an entry in SIP.conf for each probable caller!

Ciao a tutti
Mauro

This is how it works by default or you couldn't get a call from a
remote SIP users. The call will drop into the 's' extension (assuming
1.x here - haven't looked at the changes in 1.2 yet) in whatever
context you have configured in sip.conf (default?). The authentication
details are important when you want to give more priviledge to a user
(outbound PSTN for example) which you really should have in 'default'
context as external callers could cost you a lot of money!
