Well, I am batting close to zero where responses to my questions are
concerned, but I suppose I will just keep swinging.
I just set up an account with callpacket.com, and noticed that on
incoming calls through this provider the values of CALLERID(name) and
CALLERID(num) are "%23%23%23%23%23%23%23%23%23%23" when the caller
has either blocked callerid (tested with *67), or, apparently, sent
values that are unexpected (tested via friend who is, for whatever
reason, doing SetCallerID("caller 6398A" <>) on his outbound calls).
I have "speak caller ID" macro that does a system() call to a script
on the local machine, and I have been tinkering with ways of handling
the different possible strings in some reasonably intelligent way.
My question is -- is %23 the escape for the # character here, as I
suspect, and if so, is there a way I can tell asterisk to interpret
it as such, or do I need to convert it back on my own?
Is the "%23%23%23%23%23%23%23%23%23%23" (or "###########") any kind
of an industry standard string, that evaluates to something sensible
on a consumer CID display, or is it just some arbitrary barf that
callpacket has chosen to send in those cases?
Thanks for any info.
