[Users] BCP: rewrite every header?

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Mark,

since you need to change only the display name, you may use the 
uac_replace_from() function (see 
http://openser.org/docs/modules/1.1.x/uac.html#AEN160), like:
    uac_replace_from("batman","");
this will have no implication on the dialog - no need to do the same 
change on the sequential requests.

and yes...probably you need to do this for each initial requests going 
to the PSTN GW.

regards,
bogdan
