The telco will send x(configurable) digits as CNID on a PRI. This
becomes the extension inside of asterisk automagically. I know you can
have anywhere from 3 digits up to the entire 10 digits sent to you.
While my company was on channelized e&m t1 we had 4 digits of DID, and
now on PRI we get the whole 10 digit number.
