I suppose I ought to folo on this myself for clarity.

We send calls out some IXC PRIs with caller ID that isn't valid *for those
trunks*, cause (obviously) the incoming calls go to other inbound trunk groups,
and some of that is cross-carrier.  That's apparently become problematic,
because Level3/Broadwing's fraud group has cracked down on outbound CNID.

Whether Qwest has as well or not is an as yet unanswered question, but if
it's not just a screw up on their end, then I'll have to shuffle a lot of
T-1s this week (by which I mean after hours tonight). 

Nice of them to all (completely fail to) notify us, though.

Thanks to the several people who made suggestions off list.

Cheers,
