<DIV><SPAN class=796374221-22052004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a UK user,
relatively new to Asterisk, but keen to add a few features (like UK-style Caller
ID, which looks likeit should be feasible on the new hardware). However,
in order to enable this appropriately, I would need to "know" what region a
articular channel is supposed to be operating in, and I can't find options to
set this.....yes, there are LANGUAGE options, but this is no use in trying to
decide if CallerID should be US, UK, South Africa etc.! Am I missing
something, and if there isn't alrerady such a system, should it be added - might
then be useful for other things such as:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=796374221-22052004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Idealy, there would
be both a country (ISO 3166 2 letter code?) and an optional system
identifier, as some countries (including technically the UK) have only supplier
specific oddities ("UK" caller ID is actually a BT
standard).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=796374221-22052004><FONT face=Arial size=2>My suggestion would
be that it be "per channel" so that a mixed bag of equipment from diffeent zones
could be used, but there may be a better way.....ideas
anyone?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
