Get the current docs at ftp://ftp.ascend.com/pub/Software-Releases/Doc/.

What I see is that some of my PRIs provide the number that was called, some
don't. I usually get the calling number, and presumably only don't when the
caller is blocking it. Nothing is set anywhere in the TNT about Caller ID.

Examples:

[1/2/3/31] LAN session up: <User1>
[MBID 150; 1234567890->2345678] [User1]

[1/2/3/19] LAN session up: <User2> [MBID 225;
3456789] [Lat38]

[1/6/13/0] LAN session up: <User3> [MBID
202] [User3]

It's likely a telco issue. Don't take "Huh?" for an answer.
