[Asterisk-Users] Hi...Please help me

[William Piper]

Wouldn't it be easier to replace the callername to the exten.

example:

exten => _x.,1,SetCallerIDname(${EXTEN})
exten => _x.,2,SetCallerIDnum(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _x.,3,dial,SIP/number

That way, the Caller Name would show the extension it is ringing and the
callerid will still show the calling party.

Now you don't need the softphone to do it... just a phone with callerid.

That seems to be humongous overkill... why not just use any of the caller ID

popup apps instead of running that behemoth X-Lite?  If the popup comes up, 
the phone's for you.
