[Asterisk-Dev] Open source time card application for Asterisk

[BJ Weschke]

 From an infrastructure perspective, you're right.
  From an ASP perspective, you're wrong.
  http://www.spooftel.com/ - "Spoof your own Caller ID for $0.10/min"
  If you're using GMail a number of other providers come advertised
alongside this thread. :-)
 For that very reason, the only way one could truly verify someone's
location via CID would be to do a callback to the CID supplied.
