That's exactly what I needed to know there. It's odd to use the 
${CALLERIDNUM} variable since Feature Group D does not support 
CallerID. You'd think there would be some sort of different variable 
name for that.

I do use "featdmf" in the zapata.conf.

In the zaptel.conf, it says to use the e&m setting for Feature Group 
D, there is no featd setting in there.

There are only 3 Feature Group D settings in the zapata.conf.

; featd:          Feature Group D (The fake, Adtran style, DTMF)
; featdmf:        Feature Group D (The real thing, MF (domestic, US))
; featdmf_ta:     Feature Group D (The real thing, MF (domestic, US)) 
through a Tandem Access point

I am using mf, so I have to use featdmf at least, and I am not using 
a Tandem Access point, but I can give that a try just to see if that works.
