[VoIP] FXO cards and CallerID

[Shane Young]

Asterisk will see the callerid coming in on a properly configured PCI card.

Note that there are some *really* cheap FXO cards out there that used  
to have problems reading the name, but I always got the number to come  
through ok.

Assuming you want to ring a FXS port on a 3810, the callerid data will  
be (normaly) carried through in the SIP message to the 3810 and if you  
enable callerid on the FXS port, it will be generated by the 3810.

The nice thing about having asterisk in the middle, is you can "fix"  
busted callerid names, if you want to.
