Do some string manipulation on the ${CHANNEL} to identify which channel
is ringing (look at the Cut and SetVar commands), then you can either
have an robot/recording answer appropriately, or use the A option in the
Dial command to announce to the callee which line is answered, or modify
the displayed caller id with SetCIDName and SetCIDNum.

I've done it, and it takes a bit of thinking about, but after this
amount of info the meter is running :)

HTH.
