When calls are directed to my gateway, the gateway
gets the users username in the From: field of the SIP header. This is not good for
outbound caller ID purposes. If I want internal users caller ID to appear on displays of

Is it possible to rewrite the from: field with their numerical alias?
No, it is not possible to rewrite From header field. There is another
mechanism -- Remote-Party-ID header field. SER can add this header
field and put user's phone number into it. Your PSTN gateway can then extract
the phone number from the header field and display it as the caller's
number.
In the stable version of SER (0.8.11) the Remote-Party-ID header
field works only with radius authentication (i.e. the phone number is
obtained from a radius server). Obtaining the Remote-Party-ID from
database is currently in unstable CVS branch only.
