QSIG passes callername and other variables by a mechanism that asterisk
cannot interpret at the moment.  It sends them either in a information
element in the setup message for the call or in an additional facility
message after the fact.  Right now asterisk cannot interpret those facility
messages to get the data out of them, so that's probably the reason why
you are getting garbled data.

If anyone has any info on interpreting the FACILTIY message/IE we could
probably get something put together to interpret it.
