Summary:                    IAX does not allow CALLERID(num) contain
non-numbers.
Description: 
( I already explained the issue here:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2009-August/039257.html )

The thing is that IAX channel driver "shrinks" (ast_shrink_phone_number)
caller number. Which was probably the good thing before. However nowadays
when you have Skype support integrated, skype names passed via
CALLERID(num) get damaged.

I believe that only drivers which know they can not pass arbitrary number
(like DAHDI for example) should do shrinking of number before sending out.
While inside Asterisk (or relayed to another Asterisk with SIP/IAX) we
should presever original number.

Obviously I can create a patch for chan_iax which removes the shrinking
because this patch is trivial. However issue may be more global and affect
other drivers so I believe it is better to hear from Digium guys first -
maybe they have another opinion about how to solve that issue or do not
consider it an issue at all :)

I *do* agree that we need to have a discussion about this, but if we're at
the discussion stage, then opening a bug is not the correct course of
action as of yet.

Discussions should be performed on the asterisk-dev mailing list, and once
a conclusion comes forth about how to proceed, then the issue can be
opened, and the proposed patch attached.

I'm closing this issue for now, however, please reopen this issue once a
conclusion has come to fruition. Thanks!
