Hi, I'm in the process of switching over to Asterisk from Alchemy kit and have hit a stumbling block. We're in the UK and use ISDN. At the moment we don't accept calls from withheld numbers (we just play them a message), but do accept calls from unavailable numbers. There doesn't seem to be any way for me to differentiate between the two number types in Asterisk (chan_CAPI) - they both appear to be presented as lacking callerID with no other identifier. I've had a look back through the archives and there doesn't seem to be an answer to this one. Does anybody have an idea on what to do or where to look? Many thanks, Nick.

[Asterisk-Users] Unavailable/Withheld identification
Nick We are using QuadBRI cards from www.junghanns.net and also at home I have a couple of cheap HFC cards - in by Asterisk box sandwiched between my BT line and my Alchemy Cybergear Gold. Using this there is the possiblility to differentiate between Withheld and 'unavailable'. The latest code bri-stuff 0.1.0 supports it anyway. Never used Chan-capi but there is not really a reason to anyway, as the Junghanns drivers provide native Zaptel support.

Speaking without experience of the exact combination you mention, but I'd expect that BT will send these to you using the combinations as follows: CLI: present Screening: available - Released number CLI: absent Screening: withheld - Withheld number CLI: absent Screening: available - Unavailable Number CLI: absent Screening: not available/interworking - Unavailable Number If you have access to the screening flag, this should help you.
