asterisk users - Sep 2009 - Connected Line ID for Asterisk 1.4

Hi,

We're using the Pickup app on a customer's site with Linksys phones.

Is there any way to display the callerid of the phone call you've picked 
up in 1.4?

I assume (rightly or wrongly) that this is connected line ID.

Basically, the phones are displaying 79 on the screen (the number the 
dial for pickup) - as you'd expect, but they'd like to see the CID of 
the person who called in.

I've managed to get the CID passed along during subsequent transfer of 
the call, but would love to be able to provide them with the icing on 
the cake :)

There are patches against 1.4 that allow you to change the display to 
anything that the phone will support and it'll be as a standard in the 
1.6.3 (??) series of Asterisk as a standard.

The only problem is that the patches don't apply beyond 1.4.20.x

You can read bug 8824

I'll be staying with Asterisk 1.4.20.1 until I've had time to test out 
the latest 1.6 series.
