What's displayed depends largely on the information provided in a few
different
fields of the incoming SETUP message, and worse case we will display the
calling party station address when it is available. The following specs define
what is possible on the analog (POTS) delivery:
   TR-NWT-00031  CLID delivery
and the ISDN side:
   NI-1 spec, 5ESS custom BRI spec.

The name field is available in the ISDN side, but not defined in the relevant
Bellcore spec for the analog side.

It is a current hardware limitation.

Still not delivered yet, but expected soon. I will post an article on the
usergroup when it is available and shipping.

Software to drive it will also be required, and that is already available -
but not of any use until the hardware is available.

As above...

I'll post this information to the usergroup when it's announced/available..
