asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Announce incoming callerID via paging/intercom?

Greetings!

I was wondering if it is possible (using something like a group of
Sipura SPA-841 IP phones) to have * announce information about the
calling party via the SPA-841's speaker to a selected set of
extensions that aren't set to "Do Not Disturb"... i.e., have * say
the
number, or perhaps have Festival speak the name, etc.

If so, any hints and tips on how you'd go about configuring this?

I have some old Northern Telecom POTS phones (9516CW's) that do this
and it is a pretty useful feature...

Thanks!
Eddy

Search the lists it's all over every 2-3 weeks. Here is the what to
look for. the M option in dial application
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-asterisk+cmd+dial).
