[asterisk-users] Changes in handling anonymous calls entering asterisk

[Guido Hecken]

FYI and to answer my own question, 

SetCallerPres(allowed) did the trick.

exten => <msn>,n,SetCallerPres(allowed)

Background:
If a call arrives with the flag CallerPres() set to prohib, you can change
the CALLERID(num) or CALLERID(name) with the corresponding set function and
the cdrs look good, but the sip channel still has something like
sip:Unknown at 192.168.161.18 in the from field. So the Phone/Softphone only
reports about Unknown number and Unknown name. 

Very annoying, but solved :-)

Hope, the above will help someone in the future
