asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Inbound Callerid for SIP Phones

I have a number of inbound analog lines connecting through Digium cards to an
Asterisk box.
Asterisk then bridges the calls over to the internal extensions which are all
SIP phones.
 
Currenly the inbound lines do not have callerid on them so callerid=no in my
zapata.conf file.  What happens on inbound calls is that the SIP extensions are
dialed but their callerid shows 'asterisk@SIP:X.com'.  Does anyone know
how to change the callerid on the inbound calls?
 
I would like to change it to something like Inboud Call or something more
descricptive than asterisk.

You can do this using this kind of setup in extensions.conf:

(Put this in your inbound context which you defined in zapata.conf.)

exten => s,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=Bellcore-r2)
exten => s,2,SetCallerId,Line 1 <1>
exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/110&SIP/111,20,tr)
