I don't think this is the problem. If it was a general problem hundreds
f people would be complaining about this. Put a
NoOp(CALLERID=${CALLERID}) in the dialplan just before the Dial line to
ring the GS phone.  What you should see is something like CALLERID=Bob
Dobbs <666> on the console when the NoOp runs.  If you see ANYTHING that
isn't in the format of Caller*ID Name <calleridnumber. then you have
something messed up in your Asterisk config.  As said, the BT101 only
can display Caller*ID numbers, it should generally just throw out the
Caller*ID name.  You don't mention what COUNTRY you are in so I don't
know if it's an issue between what your telco sends and what Asterisk
expects.  In the USA this is not an issue, in other countries it *could*
be an issue.
