Fair enough..!

I don't see an easy way to do this without dialling the access code for
each line (PSTN or VoIP) first. Actually, I don't need to do this as I
have a PABX, the lines from the Fritz!Box are just two of the incoming
lines, so if I want to force a call via a particular route I just dial the
appropriate line's direct access code (81, 82, etc) rather than the usual
9, which picks a line at random. It works for me, but probably won't suit
you..!

Could be. I don't see a way to select a specific codec in the setup
though, but I will check it out with AVM. Do get in touch if you need to
though.
