 You are more than welcome to edit the page to make it obvious 
 to the next reader :-)

You're quite right - I added a little note there to warn others now.

It's a great Wiki anyway, just these little inaccuracies or
misunderstandings every now and then...

 We struggled with this a couple years back before CVS_head 
 had that function. What we ended up doing was using the 
 CallerIDName field for a 20 character unique identifier and 
 we used the callerIDnum as usual (telcos in the US only use 
 callerIDnum anyway).

Thanks! I applied this to our case, and I can now store the recipient's
CallerID in CALLERIDNAME, and then restore it in the Local context into
CALLERIDNUM.

The solution is still a little dirty, since CALLERIDNAME will show up in
the SIP From header. But I think I can work around that by dialling both
calls in the fork through a Local channel that clears CALLERIDNAME
before connecting to the real destination.
