[VoIP] Fun with Pat and Jane

[Mark Rudholm]

Actually, if someone could help me test, I'd appreciate it.
I can test "restricted" calls by prefacing my calls with *67
but I can't test "unknown" calls because the only way I have
to make "unknown" calls is through ACTS, but my Teliax DN
is a local call from my coin line, so the CID comes through
(ACTS doesn't pass CID at all --calls arrive "unknown").
I could order an additional DN from Teliax that is a toll
call from my coin line, but that'd cost a few dollars.

Anyone able to make PSTN calls without passing CID?

PSTN: +1 DAFT ROBOTS
CNET: +1 377 0500
