On one of my T1 circuits, ten digits always appear on the other side.  I 
can set all ten digits to zero.  If I set less than ten digits then the 
last digits of the default ten digit string (which is our billing phone 
number) are overwritten with what is set.  On our T3 (different 
provider), we can set any length of digits but I have never tried to 
send blank or null values. 

Does your other PBX send blank callerID?  Is the PRI from the same 
provider?  When you have CIDNum= do you see errors in the log that the 
value must not be null?
