asterisk users - Apr 2004 - Quick Caller ID and Voicemail ?s

I'm trying to config a couple of things on Asterisk 
CVS-03/22/04-16:41:51.

The number shows up, but I can't get the "words" to show on a
local
bell line. The text always comes up as "unavailable". In sip.conf for 
each extension, I've tried:

callerid="VERTEX" <2142618000>
callerid=VERTEX <2142618000>

Neither one works. Suggestions?

On the Voicemail front, I'm trying to set an extension to dial into a 
specific voicemail box that has (or in fact may have) nothing with the 
exact extension I'm dialing. For example, from extension 122, I want it 
to check 107 without having to enter the voicemail box. In 
extensions.conf, I've got the following for that extension:

exten => 122,1,Macro(extVertex,SIP/122)
exten => 122,2,VoiceMailMain(107)

In watching asterisk -rc, I see the following when dialing the 
voicemail extension:

   == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/sip.conf':   == Parsing 
'/etc/asterisk/sip.conf':   == Parsing 
'/etc/asterisk/indications.conf':     -- Executing 
Answer("SIP/122-7161", "") in new stack
     -- Executing Wait("SIP/122-7161", "1") in new stack
     -- Executing VoiceMailMain("SIP/122-7161",
"2142618000") in new
stack
     -- Playing 'vm-login' (language 'en')

Ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan Thrash

Your telco is probably setting the callerid name to whatever
their own database maps that number to.  Also, I'm not sure
if that numbering scheme will work, I would try adding ()'s.
Something like this in zapata.conf:

    callerid="VERTEX" <(NNN) NNN-NNNN>

Can't say about anything about sip, tho.
