additionally if you want to have the callerid to include office1 when
calling office2, you could change the callerid using
Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)} Office 1)
just before sending through to office 2
Something along those lines anyway, not entirely sure on the syntax or if
there's a better way to do it.. but i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm
wrong :)
