asterisk users - Mar 2004 - General Caller ID question

Hi,

I've got a small asterisk server setup, dialing out on an X100 card and
would like to implement some CID functionality.  Can I (how can I) set a CID
name on an outgoing call?  I've tinkered with the CID applications in
Asterisk, but can't seem to get the CID info to show up on the receiving end
of an outbound call.   Any examples would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Carey

(1) I don't think you can set CID on a POTS line (or BRI ISDN) at all so, 
you'll need PRI or DS1.

(2) You can't set the name on what is sent to the telco.  Only the number.

I have just uploaded a new res_radius package to the bugtracker at
http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001193

It has configuration examples this time... and no longer requires
installation of freeradius.
