asterisk users - Aug 2007 - [Fwd: Re: issues with caller ID , remote-party-id

Hello ppl,
Sorry to re-post it, but kinda these issues are getting on my nerves.

I tried Set(CALLERID(num)=7329) on 1.2.12, which works fine, but not on 
1.4.4.

The problem :
1. I receive call from caller 'AAA' on my number, 'BBB' which is
on my
Asterisk box.
2. I have to redirect the call to some other number, say, my cell num - 
'CCC'.
3. My PSTN provider wants the calling(From) number as 'BBB', which is 
fair enough, because that number has been assigned to me by this provider.
4. I have been able to achieve this(using Set(CALLERD(num)='BBB'), on 
1.2.12, but not on 1.4.4. I know, be default, From will be set to BBB, 
but still....
5. But, more importantly, I need to pass the original caller number too 
to the destination, i.e. to my cell fone - CCC,  which shows up on my 
cell fone as the caller id.
6. I presume, this can be achieved using Remote-Party-ID.
7. If I set sendrpid=yes in sip.conf, the stuff sent in Remote-Party-ID 
also is CCC, but I want it to be AAA (actual caller).
8. So, I commented out sendrpid, and manually added Remote-Party-ID using:
    SIPAddHeader(Remote-Party-ID: "MEUSER"
<AAA>\;privacy=off\;screen=no)
9. As I am experimenting, I don't really have PSTN connectivity yet, but 
I have come to know, that most devices, like CISCO 7960, give preference 
to Remote-Party-ID over the From number to show as Caller ID. So, I have 
CCC configured on a CISCO SIP phone. But the caller id is still 'BBB'.
10. And at the end of all this, I am very close to smash my asterisk 
box, cisco phones with a sledgehammer.

Any bright ideas anywhere???

Help appreciated.

Thanks..
- Ben.
