asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Forwarding calls, passing Caller ID (or not)

There was a discussion a while back about how to pass Calller ID, when
forwarding, as either the calling number, or the forwarding number.

Had something to do with "scams" IIRC, but could not find in browsing
the archives.

So, is it in the docs?  Starting point or full tilt would be appreciated.

The "o" option in the Dial command?

     o    - Specify that the CallerID that was present on the *calling* channel
            be set as the CallerID on the *called* channel. This was the
            behavior of Asterisk 1.0 and earlier.

See the "o" option to Dial.  If you do a BLIND transfer the original 
CLID should be passed to the transferee.  If you do a SUPERVISED 
transfer the original CLID won't be passed.
