[Asterisk-Users] Caller ID Presentment on PRI...

Nope -- that's how PSTN-connected PRIs work -- you send the #, they map the 
name and display that.  The only way you're going to be able to set the 
textual CID information is if you're trunking to your own equipment (i.e. 
trunking to a Nortel Meridian system or something to that effect)
