Jay,
I contacted you many times regarding the script, whether you planned to
update it, suggestions for features, etc. You did not respond to any
of my
later emails. Similarly, there was discussion between list members
regarding whether this script was orphaned after changes to 411.com
made the
reverse lookup non-functional - for a long time. I assumed
responsibility
for updating the script as a courtesy to Asterisk users.
Your comments about spelling, resale, etc. are abrasive,
unproductive, and
misleading. Not only is the script available without charge on the web
site, credit to you remains with the script - in fact even the
download link
of the web site gives you credit! And of course, why would I update the
script and then encourage users to download an older version from
another
site?
If you have time to dedicate to the cid_rewrite project terrific - I
would
rather see one stream benefit all users. Let's work to integrate
changes
going forward. If you would prefer not to, I would be pleased to
rename the
script so that there is no confusion.
Regards,
Michelle

Michelle,
1. Courtesy would suggest that you would have contacted the author of
the
script (me) to ask permission to modify this and host it elsewhere.
2. What possessed you to remove ALL credits and original download
location
from the readme file? Are you trying to pawn other people's work off as
yours?
3. It's not exactly smart to continue someone else's versioning
scheme if
you're intending to make a "fork". 4. Your spelling is atrocious.
5. The script is not orphaned, even though you seem to imply this in the
readme file.
Since you are selling support for this script, that qualifies as
commercial
use and is expressly prohibited by the micro-license included in the
original script. Please remove it from your download page until you
have
made arrangements for further distribution with me. I'm utterly
amazed at
the bad form I see here.
Downloads of the original script are available here:
http://www.muware.com/asterisk/
The script is alive and working well, and I've made various
enhancements to
user-requests in the recent past.

Miles,
You can also download cid_rewrite from www.generationd.com This PHP
script looks up the phone numbers in a local MySQL table, and/or
uses reverse 411 on the web to lookup the name, and/or more options.

Could you give me an example code of how this would work, and how
to setup the database, I'm pretty new and while what you have
written makes sense, and sounds like a good plan I'm not sure I can
implement it.
I'm using my own agi-bin for "patching" callerid and adding the name
if the number is found in a table (a csv that is mantained with a
spreadsheet), it adds the name taken from this table. Then you can
see the name in the display of the phones.
