You can't* set the outbound name.  That's defined in the national caller id
name database that the receiving phone company dips into.  As far as I
know, Flowroute does not add entries to this database, nor do they dip it
when you receive a call to pass the caller ID name on inbound calls.  Other
providers do.

* - You may be able to set it if you're calling other users on the
Flowroute network, I'm not sure.  But in general, once your call leaves the
Flowroute network, the only way to get the CNAM info is from a CNAM dip to
the national database (I don't recall the actual name).
