Well, options b is unacceptable since I may be supplied a caller id name, which I would want to pass on to my users.
Options a is a bit of a kludge, but I think I could make it work. I'd have a cron job that updates the cdr.src field based on the cdr.user field. That could work but I was sure hoping there was a better way. Thanx for your time. Mike Diehl.
