asterisk users - Jan 2005 - xmitting CallerID

Attempted to get this info from Digium but my efforts have failed...

I am thinking of getting a TE410P from digium.

My local Telco uses B8ZSESF and does support PBX customizing ANIs on a per
call basis.

What I need to know is, can I use the SetCallerID command in extensions.conf
to transmit the DID# of the extension making the call with the TE410P or is
there a different one that does support, customizing your ANI.

With a PRI you just use the commands to set the CallerID in the 
dialplan.  "show applications".  You can set the number, but not the 
name.  The name will show up on the other end as whatever the telco 
has on file for that number.

There is no way to set CallerID on non-PRI T-1s without dialplan hacks 
and you have to know HOW your provider expects you to send the 
CallerID digits.  For example a provider might expect the dialed 
digits to be *ANI*NUMBER or something like that.  There is no standard.
