Would caller id with the person's cell phone number solve this problem?
If so, that might be easier to handle.

It was pretty short. It was over by 2000 UTC when I got back. If you look
at the log, you'll see it went pretty quick.

If you want to add to the wish list, I would like to eventually be able to
forward calls to another sip server. Right now I sort of handle this (but
something is broken) by having my asterisk box register with the fedora
talk server so it can get calls. But I get so few calls (none except for
my test calls) that I think it would be significantly less overhead to
have a forwarding ability rather than have to essentially poll from my
end.
