Rob--
You've left out some details, like where the callerid info you want to
see is stored. Every channel keeps track of ani, rdnis, and dnid as
well, and depending on the driver, usually only the ani or the plain
callerid name/num end up in the CDR records.
In the dialplan, you can attach other info onto a CDR by setting, for
example, the CDR userfield, to one of these values, and hopefully, you
can get this info out into a CDR so you can arrange your billing info
accordingly...
Also, keep in mind that the CDR is a separate data structure, and only
gets updated at certain times, and you are only allowed to set certain
fields via dialplan funcs. (and the CID info isn't on that list!).
