Another thought - if that doesn't automatically work for you (probably depends 
on your dialplan / Asterisk setup), then how about setting:
	CDR(accountcode)=${CALLERID(number)}
in your dialplan sometime before you set the outbound Caller ID to whatever 
your PSTN number is?

Then you have the internal extension number in accountcode and the external 
CallerID in clid.
