I am in the US, and caller ID otherwise works fine (ie on analog 
stations it comes thorough just fine).

sip.conf configlet:

[1000]
type=friend
username=1000
fromuser=1000
callerid=Computer Room <1000>
host=dynamic
nat=no
canreinvite=yes
dtmfmode=info
mailbox=1000 at default
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

extensions.conf configlet:

[sip-access]

exten => 1000,1,Macro(stdexten,1000,SIP/1000)

The stdexten Macro is the vanilla one from 'stock' Asterisk.

On the console I see all the appropriate caller ID/connection info, and 
the Voicemail application definitely emails me the correct stuff - so it 
seems it is something being lost between Asterisk/Grandstream...

Thanks for any help - this is on my home PBX - but once it all works I 
will be rolling it out as a test at a friendly beta customer :-)
