asterisk users - Jul 2003 - RE: Asterisk-Users digest, Vol 1 #873 - 16 msgs

I don't know if 911 uses caller ID or BTN (Billing Telephone Number)
900 calls, operator calls, and 800 calls use the BTN not the Caller
ID...

Anyone????

Isn't that enough to set up a proper Caller ID NAME ?

Since all calss would be going out of the PRI in the main location, the
police/fire trucks will show up at our COLO!!

a kind of insurance I would like to do away with it!
