You can actually cram a lot of characters into the callerID field within Asterisk, and it doesn't just have to be numbers.
It's the only reliable way I could track my Originates, what I do is send a unique callerID and then look for it in the next manager response message where it tells you the uniqueid of the call, then from there forward I follow the uniqueid of the call(because some manager messages relating to a call won't give you the callerID, only the uniqueid).

However in this case caller id is supposed to be "right", at least for its numerical part. I'll try to use the name part of the caller id for that purpose. -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive _______________________________________________ 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
