Not before each call in my special case. I have one provider which is
only able to call real phones and one (ekiga.net) I'm usually use to do
real VOIP calls to SIP endpoints. And daily I'm only using the latter.
Still I need a way to actually define the outgoing provider to use. Do
you tell me that other's don't need to define that?

Because the other participants of the conference calls hear the issue
only if I am connected.
