[asterisk-biz] Can I get "forwarded from" number?

[Steve Totaro]

Thank you for clearing that up.  I thought of RDNIS but have never
needed or used it so I was not really sure what it was.  

Last time I looked at the wiki, the entry for RDNIS simply said
"Referring DNIS" or something to that affect, with no explanation of
usage.  Now its usage and purpose makes sense.

I see the wiki has MUCH more info on RDNIS now.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
