+India finds itself in a unique situation (hopefully). It has several 
+telephone line providers, and they are not all using the same CID 
+signalling; and the CID signalling is not like other countries. 
+
+In order to help those in India quickly find to the CID signalling
+system that their carrier uses (or range of them), and get the
+configs right with a minimal amount of experimentation, this file
+is provided. Not all carriers are covered, and not all mentioned
+below are complete. Those with updates to this table should post
+the new information on bug 6683 of the asterisk bug tracker.

+Asterisk still doesn't work with some of the CID scenarios in India.
+If you are in India, and not able to make CID work with any of the
+permutations of cidsignalling and cidstart, it could be that this
+particular situation is not covered by Asterisk. A good course of 
+action would be to get in touch with the provider, and find out from
+them exactly how their CID signalling works. Describe this to us,
+and perhaps someone will be able to extend the code to cover their
+signalling.
