asterisk users - May 2006 - FXS Caller ID revisted

Hi All, posted last week but didn't get any responses. I'm trying to
figure
out why some of our analog phones aren't showing CID when hooked up to
asterisk. To recap, I have an Aastra Powertouch 350, which shows caller ID
fine when connected to the PSTN, but when hooked up to asterisk, CID does
not show. I've hooked up another phone to the same * port that the Aastra
phone is on, & it DOES show CID, so I'm assuming my settings & such
are at
least partially correct, can anyone point me to some options or areas I can
look to troubleshoot this issue? Been pulling my hair out on this for days &
just can't seem to get it sorted.

I'm using asterisk 1.2.0 with a Carrier Access ABII channel bank. When
another CID capable phone is hooke up to the same port, CID works fine, the
Aastra phone is however unable to read the incoming CID from * apparently.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, I've searched the Wiki & the
CID
faq's to no avail.

Thanks in advance

Dan

Are you doing something funny with the CID on it's way to the phone? 
I've got a somewhat similar problem with an Aastra IP phone (yes, I did 
say IP): it would NOT ring if the caller id started with an "#". Maybe
your Aastra PSTN phone got some of the same (buggy?) handling of CID's?
