This is how I do it:
setcallerid(CMPNY1:${CALLERID})
this way the name is noticeable with the rest of the callerid. You
could put in whatever you want instead of CMPNY1: even spaces and it
would work. Just don't assume your users are that stupid (and if they
are then don't belong at such a demanding job), and allow them to
recognize the difference the way you set it.
