[Asterisk-Users] Caller ID from Database

[john lawler]

Guys,

You can do the same thing w/ the builtin application LookupCIDName. 
That's exactly what it was designed for.  You just store the information 
in database family 'cidname' and use it the same way.  Search the 
archive or google for examples.
