AFAIK you have to specify applications on *incoming* dial peers. So you
can either bind it to a real pots dial peer (one with a voice port
below it), where it will be triggered on calls coming *into* that voice
port (done this today on a FXS in order to play a busy tone towards
our door opener when the call disconnects, not just give it power
denial [which crashes that device]). Or you bind it to a "virtual"
pots dial peer, one that has no port but an incoming called-number.

The problem is matching that incoming dial peer. I would need it in
one case but given up on it because matching works when a SETUP comes
with the complete called party number, but breaks when the incoming
SETUP is incomplete and overlap sending is supposed to happen. Have
a look in the IVR 2.0 guide, it explains (briefly) how to setup an
incoming dialpeer. Applying that to your situation and getting it to
fit all your needs without any glitch might be hard, though. But maybe
not as hard with FXO as it is with ISDN...

Some examples I've seen just match against "." so matching any incoming
pots/voip call. I haven't tried this myself yet (PBXs are usually
production systems), but it sounds like you'd have to do any call
handling and case switching in your IVR app then - gives me the creeps.

HTH,
Andre.
