[asterisk-users] Problems Overwriting CallerID with True ANI

[Steve Totaro]

Thanks for the reply but I got it worked out a few moments after I sent 
the email. 

BTW, exten => _*NXXNXXXXXX*NXXNXXXXXX*,8,NoOP(${CALLERID}) works just 
fine.  My only problem was the double underscores before setting the 
callerID.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
