[Asterisk-Users] setting up fromuser

[Albert Chaffman]

Khan,

This is essentially the same thing I was trying to make clear upon using
7960 phones.  The fromuser variable in sip.conf is the entry that gets
written to the SIP header "from" variable.  There should be a way to
make this fromuser dynamic to support these various situations.

Does anyone else have an opinion about this?
