[arm-allstar] Autopatch - Autodial Script

[Michael "Lee" Lockwood]

I have it "working"... sort of.  I'm using the autopatch feature to
introduce a 3rd party system that utilizes SIP as its audio transport.
It's not actually being used for phone autopatch.

So, when I activate the autopatch to make the connection to the SIP
gateway, it puts the repeater in to an active autopatch state, causing the
linked repeaters to remain keyed up in a transmit state.

Is there any way to have the SIP link connected but act the way an IAX link
does, meaning not keep the repeater in "autopatch" mode?  Basically, the
SIP extension would just be appear as another repeater node on my system is
what I'm going for.
