No, but the Caller ID Information for a SIP extension is stored in sip.conf, so yes, I did think about that.
As far as making sense, many meridian systems do this, and it is quite helpful. This could help with the implementation of gastman, and also end user phones. On the Cisco's and Polycom's, when you place a call on hold, rather than seeing an extension, you would see the name and you could toggle between the calls and see the name, rather than number (O.K. that part is a convenience thing). I know on my Meridian system at work, if you accidentally dial the wrong extension, the name pops up after it starts ringing, and you know your calling the wrong person. You can hang up, or tell the person real quick, hey sorry, I meant to call someone else. Not sure why other PBX's do Called Party Identification, but it would definitely be a nice feature to have, and they have found some use for putting it in their system. I'll begin work on it myself, I was just inquiring as to whether it was implemented or not. The Polycom phones state in the Admin Guide they support Called Party ID, but it is a network provided service. So they found a use for it too.

Maybe you didn't think about the fact that extensions aren't defined in sip.conf. Also it is possible for many extensions to end up on any physical phone. So sending essentially caller ID back to the calling phone doesn't really make sense. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
