Marty, My business would own the actual T1, but I may provide an outbound call service for a client and would want their name sent as well as their toll free number and not the local number for the outbound line. Calls being sent over PRI with Digium card. Sounds like the PSTN just doesn't forward the name for whatever reason.
Thanks,

Correct me if I am wrong but I think you would need access to a SS7 switch to send the number that you want it to come from.
No. You can send arbitrary caller ID numbers down a PRI. (I used to like making calls "from" 0123456789 on my Global Crossing PRIs. For testing purposes only, of course. Showed up just fine on my Verizon POTS lines. :-) Lots of carriers will by default filter what they will pass along to numbers you've officially put in service on said PRI. Some will remove the filters if you ask. Some won't. Some it depends on whom you ask during which phase of the moon.
The name is a database lookup based on the number done at the destination switch. I believe that for MD the database is run by Verizon West, nee GTE.
Todays' security reminder: Never, ever depend on Caller ID for security for things that are important.
