[Asterisk-Users] RE: Asterisk-Users Digest, Vol 6, Issue 463

Folks,

	Eric is spot-on--both phones are happy with the modified
${CALLERIDNAME} value since I removed the quotes in the call to
SetCIDName().  I've replace my calls to SetCallerID() since I think using
SetCIDName() is cleaner.

					Cheers,

					Rob
