I don't know the code well enough to know whether work done at this 
point in time would help, but I have discovered that there are certain 
permuations of CallerID string that come in to Asterisk via the Sipura 
SPA-3000 that break things and cause Asterisk to drop the call.

I posted a mail about it to the -users group last week.

I don't know whether the problem is in the ast_ stuff or in the SIP 
channel driver, but it's a major PIA, that's for sure.  Even if the SPA 
is sending something in a mangled fashion, it would seem best to just 
ignore the CID info and proceed with the call. . . .
