[asterisk-biz] Multi User CallerID - One System

[C F]

First for the billing part use account codes. Solves lots of problems.
Now for the CID part, without any CGI it will be a nightmare,
something like creating 2 asterisk db records (or more if needed). One
that tells you the min range of a DID block an the other the max and
then match in the dialplan the given CID if it falls in the range.
