[Asterisk-Users] CallerID

In the customer definitions in sip.conf, include a line like:
 callerid=John Doe <3106548899> 
and in outbound extensions.conf entry, use a callerid variable to pass
the callerid within shared outbound sections of extensions.conf.
See the README.variables text in asterisk/doc directory.

About the only other way that I can think of to accomplish that is to define
each such user in their own sip context, and in extensions.conf use those
contexts to set their appropriate callerid.

The problem really is the end result of trying to use a pbx as a central
office switch, effectively trying to replicate the CO's ANI function.
