I don't believe that we've had calling name over facility transmit capability
in CVS.  I just started working on this (and had to add the functions for it)
within the last couple of weeks.  But anyway, that's another matter...

I need to find some documentation so that I can find out what switches (NI2 in
your case) support this type of message.  I'm just somewhat concerned what a
switch might do if I send it a facility IE w/ calling name in it and it doesn't
know what to do with it.  If you can find me some docs that tell me that transmit
of calling name information is supported in NI2 I'll add it back in.

I am relatively certain that it works with Q.SIG, NI3, and 5ESS, but I'm not 
certain about other switchtypes (including NI2).
