[Asterisk-Users] Caller-ID name delivered in double-quotes

I did some searching in the archive, but found only one message with
this same question and no answer.  Hopefully it's a simple config problem.

When the Caller-ID is delivered, it is surrounded by double-quotes,
like this:
 "ATA-57 1"

On long caller-id strings, the last character is cut off to make room
for the leading double-quote:
 "BudgeTone 1234 
instead of
 BudgeTone 12345

I'd like to omit the quotes, since the local telco doesn't quote the
names, and it cuts off precious characters.

I'm defining the phones this way in sip.conf:

[200]
callerid = ATA-57 1 <200>
type = friend
secret = xxxx
host = dynamic
defaultip = ata-57.my.com
canreinvite = no                        ; Cisco poops on reinvite?

[201]
callerid = ATA-57 2 <201>
type = friend
secret = xxxx
host = dynamic
defaultip = ata-57.my.com
canreinvite = no


It doesn't seem specific to the ATA-186.. the BudgeTone caller-id is
also quoted.

How can I remove the double-quotes to make the Caller-ID more normal?

Thanks!
-Steve
