Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant.

You were meant to configure XLite directly with provider, then capture a
trace. In the trace you will see the format of the INVITE message and the
format of the 'from' header within the INVITE being sent to provider.

Then use this format exactly as is in your 'uac_replace_from' statement in
OpenSER.


XLite ---> OpenSER (do replace from using IP and Provider Acct. details)
---> Provider ---> PSTN
