The way CallerID is set on the dialled channel is a somewhat complex series of logic to deal with various situations. It is probably what you want. However, some people preferred the old way that simply copied the CallerID blindly from caller to calling, and this new complex method broke their dialplans. Therefore, it was provided as a legacy option only. If we were running out of option keys, this would be a candidate for removal to make room down the road. -- Tilghman Lesher Digium, Inc. | Senior Software Developer twitter: Corydon76 | IRC: Corydon76-dig (Freenode) Check us out at: www.digium.com & www.asterisk.org -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
