asterisk users - Nov 2008 - Channel variable to identify the calling SIP peer

Hi folks

I'm not sure what I am missing but I cannot find a predefined channel
variable to identify the SIP peer/user which has initiated a call and
established the channel.

The one option is to extract it from the CHANNEL variable, but that is
fraught with difficulties.

Is there another variable I don't know about or another way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Richard

In 1.2 and 1.4 I don't believe there is any other way. Parsing the
username from the channel name is what we ended up having to do!
