asterisk users - Aug 2008 - Capture digits, set as variable..., use for caller id?

We've searched but thus far have not successfully found a solution for this?

We're looking for a way to set a variable using get digits for a DISA
application.   Sometimes we're away from the office and get a voicemail that
I need to respond to quickly and would prefer for the caller to be presented
with the caller id of the office, or perhaps home?.

I would like to set up DISA so that we can dial into the switch, enter a
password, provide the outgoing caller ID that we want to present, enter the
number I want to dial, and PRESTO..   make a call?   Any ideas?

I don't know why not.  It's not terribly difficult.  You may need to
record
several custom prompts, but that's as easy as Record(mynewprompt.wav).
Something along the lines of:

VMAuthenticate()
Read(newcid,entercid,10)
DISA(no-password,outgoing,${newcid})
