[Asterisk-Dev] setting up fromuser

[usman at user.iphonica.net]

OK ! then i might give my configuration here if it helps ....
on Asterisk Server A  I only do this that if a number starting from 92 
comes forward it to the asterisk Server B :

exten => _92.,2,Dial(SIP/92514101408@<ip of Server B>,,rf)

When I receive the call on other end I just forward it to my softswitch 
... but the from header is changed ... what I do is : 

in extensions.conf 
exten => _92.,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:2}@sip_proxy_out,,f)

and in sip.conf

[sip_proxy_out]
type=friend
host=<ip of SSW>
context = default
canreinvite=no 

Now the call forwards OK. But I dont know why Asterisk puts “asterisk” 
in from field rather than the original CLI. It gives ${CALLERIDNUM} fine 
... but from header is changed. Any thoughts ?
