Asterisk goes down like a chump
So, this entry is entirely uninteresting and boring.
I finally got Caller ID working completely with our Asterisk setup here at work. The key seems to be that TAMU is sending the CID spill for off-campus numbers (numbers not inside the TAMU exchanges) late, possibly after the second ring. I hacked the Asterisk Zaptel driver to retry processing if it wasn't able to get useful data from the CID spill, on the assumption that good data is around the corner. I didn't put in any limitations on the goto I used, so the patch definitely isn't something that should be in production (alas, it is in our case). I sent an email to Digium, to see if they will be willing to patch in support for late spills.
