[Asterisk-Users] CallerID+Distinctive ring in Australia

[Elliot Mackenzie]

Whoops.  Apologies for sending this more than once.  I thought a 
sendmail upgrade had broken, but it was just slow :-)

Someone mentioned there are some patches required to make callerid work 
in the UK.  Do similar patches apply for use in Australia?  How would I 
make my own modifications?  Is there some way I can record the analog 
signal incoming and play it back to  figure out what asterisk is doing 
with it?

Kind regards,
Elliot.
