No, it's more likely that I miss something. I haven't yet used OriginateAction 
in real code, just tried to grok what the parameters do. I believe you when 
you say it can be done. :) I'll just dive in and start using OriginateAction 
and play with the different parameters. The whole world of SIP can be a bit 
confusing sometimes.

Ah, I'll certainly have a closer look at ADM. The code looks very clean (just 
as Asterisk-Java) and I guess it can teach me a trick or two. Thanks for the 
pointer!
