With a PRI you just use the commands to set the CallerID in the 
dialplan.  "show applications".  You can set the number, but not the 
name.  The name will show up on the other end as whatever the telco 
has on file for that number.

There is no way to set CallerID on non-PRI T-1s without dialplan hacks 
and you have to know HOW your provider expects you to send the 
CallerID digits.  For example a provider might expect the dialed 
digits to be *ANI*NUMBER or something like that.  There is no standard.
