Summary:                    [patch] Remote (called) Party Identification -
chan_sip & chan_skinny implementation
Description: 
Overview:

This patch provides the ability to rewrite the called party information
on
channel types that support it.  Implementations for the SIP (see note
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=1)
and Skinny (see note http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=2) channels have been
provided.

Current features are:

1. Make changes whilst the call is progessing though the dial plan, ie:

   exten => s,1,RemoteParty("Voicemail" <123>)
   exten => s,n,Answer()
   exten => s,n,VoiceMailMain()

2. When using call pickup it will rewrite the caller information showing
the caller that was picked up.

3. When unparking a call it will show the caller*id of the parked call.

The ability to rewrite the calling party identification on semi-attended
transfer is planned but doesn't work yet.

Implementation:

Transmission of the remote party data is done using indications with a
new
subtype of AST_CONTROL_REMOTEPARTY, format of the data is:

  "name" <number>|presentation

Any channel specific code is kept in it's _indicate() handler. Once the
channel driver has received the indication it uses the method specific to
it; in the case of SIP it sends a 180/183 response if possible and with
Skinny it uses transmit_callinfo().

Note http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=1: The SIP implemenation is only able to
update the remote party
before the call has been answered as there is no re-invite support yet.

Note http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=2: I don't have any Skinny phones so no
testing has been done on
that part.

called id for zaptel, who cares? this feature is crucial for sip phones
(and iax, skinny) not pstn world. I prefer to include ip only
implementation, that is almost done now, instead to again wait next years.

Absence of called party info feature in current asterisk is one of the
main weakness of asterisk for corporate usage. Almost all comercial pbx
solutions have this funkcionality years ago.
