[cisco-voip] lookup caller name?

[John P Callahan]

IOS commands I can script!  I just haven't found any command related to 
setting the caller name, but maybe I am not looking in the right 
documentation?

The closest thing I found to setting the caller name was in a SIP command 
that set it for all calls.

I wondered about using VoiceXML or "MGCP scripting" but 1) I don't know 
anything about them and 2) from what little I could find on cisco.com, it 
doesn't look like it would work anyway.

Can I somehow do it with a dial-peer for each Nortel extension that 
matches on the incoming (from Nortel) and sets a name?
