[asterisk-users] Linksys SPA devices and CID

I normally have 0 for both "PSTN Answer Delay" and "PSTN Ring Thru  
Delay". Increasing the latter has also been said to solve this  
problem. However, if I change both of these values to 5 it does add a  
noticeable delay before any phones ring, but the CID remains  
unavailable. Perhaps this is because where I live (in the Netherlands)  
the local telco always sends the CID first.

Thanks anyway!
