This is a fairly simple thing to do. You don;t say what type of phones you are using, so I;ll assume SIP for the example:
Step 1: Put callerid="Darren" <1234> for each phone definition in sip.conf, obviously replacing Darren with the user eg "Darren Nay" or "Joe Bloggs", then replace the 1234 with their extension number. The format looks a little odd with the <1234> outside the quotes, but it's correct. In your extensions.conf: exten => *55,1,Ringing exten => *55,2,Wait(1) ; Make the user feel like something is happening exten => *55,3,VoiceMailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM}) The last line will not prompt for a password, if you omit the 's' it will...
