[asterisk-users] Caller ID has extra digits to strip

[Bart Fisher]

Well, currently I do not use them, but I hate to give it up either - 
nice to be able to ID the call type and it might be useful some day. 
Now it's a pain to deal with. What you get is the same here from GBX, 
but with MCI, it the same with ANI II added to ANI
