[Asterisk-Users] Throroughly confused about SetCallerID

[beonice]

I forgot to state that this is only for INCOMING
calls. I'm not making outgoing calls, so I really
don't care what the outgoing caller id is. 

I'm running Asterisk 1.0.5 stable ... it's a
production environment, and the users are getting
really confused about the caller id strings on their
incoming voicemail notifications and voicemail
envelopes!

Cheers,
Maya
