[Asterisk-Users] CALLERIDNAME/CALLERIDNUM Deprecation

[Brent Torrenga]

I think he is getting at something like a Zap channel that passes on it's
own CID info from zapata.conf, as opposed to the calling channel? Perhaps it
is a zap issue, and is as simple as placing callerid=asreceived in
zapata.conf.

OR

Maybe it is the way Dial() works in 1.2 versus 1.0 - with the "o" flag, I
mean?

This could never have accomplished anything, since those two references 
affect the exact same variable internally.

You'll have to more clearly define what you want to accomplish; 
normally, the Dial() application sets the CLID/CNAM info on the outgoing 
channel based on what is present on the channel placing the call.
