Asterisk will likely only try to re-co0nnect when the SIP provider registration timer expires.. you can try setting your reg timer low.. like say 300 seconds.. the SIP provider wont know where to send the calls until you re-register with them... ive not tried using a qualify setting for a SIP provider.. that might be another way... if asterisk sees the peer go dead it might send a new register request?

Thanks Philip. Regardless of what it should be called, what we need is fail-over diversity. For our purposes, we hope to avoid having two circuits from the same provider because when our cable modem stops working, cable Internet service also quits working at neighboring businesses in our complex. We've found the same to be true for our DSL line. However, they've never (knock wood) failed at the same time.
