Hi all.

We've been working on this with PRI's from USLEC connecting
to a Cisco AS5300 as the gateway.  We are sending the CNAM
information, but they can't read it dynamically.  We are
stuck (for now) with manually sending in database update
requests.

Having said all that, we're looking at pulling in some SS7
trunks, and that changes the game.
