I had to write my own Dial2 application to do this, which is a copy of the app_dial.c source with this feature added. I didn't have it record the incoming caller's name, but rather prompt the answering user as to whether or not to accept the call. It would be trivial using extension logic to have the call answered, prompt the user to say their name, and then announce that with the call (using the A option with the dial command) the rest you would have to customize yourself.

I use the Zultys 4x4 and it will allow me to announce before it transfers. But he GS BT-100 just transfers it right away.
