It's a great Wiki anyway, just these little inaccuracies or misunderstandings every now and then... -- Kenneth Falck, SWelcom Oy, Ludviginkatu 6-8, 00130 Helsinki, Finland Private: kennu@iki.fi Business: kennu@swelcom.fi GSM: +358405103121 Balance is the essential component.

I applied this to our case, and I can now store the recipient's CallerID in CALLERIDNAME, and then restore it in the Local context into CALLERIDNUM. The solution is still a little dirty, since CALLERIDNAME will show up in the SIP From header. But I think I can work around that by dialling both calls in the fork through a Local channel that clears CALLERIDNAME before connecting to the real destination. -- Kenneth Falck, SWelcom Oy, Ludviginkatu 6-8, 00130 Helsinki, Finland Private: kennu@iki.fi Business: kennu@swelcom.fi GSM: +358405103121 Balance is the essential component.
