asterisk users - Mar 2006 - IAX to SIP conversion: SIP From header issue

I am trying to setup call between IAX client and SIP client using Asterisk
1.2.4.

When IAX client makes a call, Asterisk sends SIP invite to the other end
point. But, in the From header field, I see -- From: "iaxComm User"
<
sip:700000000@ipaddress>

Is there a way I can have the original username used by IAX client to appear
in the from header field of SIP invite?

For example, If bob calls Alice using iaxComm, I want
sip:bob@whateverdomainto appear in the SIP invite that is sent to
Alice (on her SIP client).

In my setup, I use two Asterisks:

Bob-----Asterisk A----------Asterisk B--------Alice

Asterisk A is configured to call Asterisk B on SIP channel when it receives
call for Alice.

Asterisk B is looking in FROM header field to see who the call is coming
from. Since From contains 700000000, it has no way to find out that it is
coming from Bob.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

	Set callerid= for the IAX user/friend.
