[asterisk-biz] ANI

[Alex Balashov]

PSTN call routing isn't magic.  There are ways to track this sort of 
thing down if necessary, and neither ANI nor caller ID play an 
indispensable role in the anatomy of such investigative endeavours.

There is a whole host of data dumped into internal CDRs accessible via 
switch craft interfaces and softswitch / big-iron EMSs that admits of 
internal PRI trunks and cross-connects, TCICs from private and ILEC 
tandem interconnection SS7 IMTs, and various other such things.
