Actually, the way it works is that the CallerID information you specify
is sent to the "Channel" leg of the call, and that the other one can be
specified in the dialplan using the CALLERID() dialplan function.

To take your earlier example:

Action: originate
Channel: SIP/220
Exten: 321654
Priority: 1
Callerid: “Computer Dial: Bob Smith” <321654>

You could simply put this in the dialplan:

exten => 321654,1,Set(CALLERID(name)=Steve)
exten => 321654,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=01231453123)
exten => 321654,n,Dial(SIP/some_provider/${EXTEN})

Does that make sense?
