[asterisk-users] CallerID from POTS to SIP

[astuser at braingia.org]

Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately that didn't work.  What's confusing 
is that for the line without any distinctive ring that works correctly 
with callerid, the only thing it does is dial the phones, so here's the 
entire context:

[add-incoming]
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/ht1&SIP/ht2&SIP/gxp1,20)

The other context, the one with distinctive ring that's not passing 
caller id, actually does a little more:

[main-open]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,Wait(3)
exten => s,n,Background(opengreeting)
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/ht1&SIP/gxp3,20)

But even if I remove those extra bits from that context and make it look 
like the other one, it still doesn't work.

Any more suggestions?  Anyone else have experience with distinctive ring 
and caller id?  Is my syntax even right for getting callerid through 
distinctive ring for asterisk from SVN?
