Asterisk/Trixbox Speed Dials and number lookups?

[Sparks]

Hi,

Is there a way to program in a lookup table in Asterisk/Trixbox to match
names to numbers?

My DECT phones I have connected to my Trixbox, via ATA's display names and
numbers, via caller ID (If I call from one DECT phone to the other (through
Trixbox) the name of the extension is displayed, so it is getting this via
the caller ID)

I want to program in a list of various names and PSTN numbers, so when they
call me, I can see who it is.

Having this integrated into a speed dial list would be ideal, so for
example, if I could dial 501 to call my mobile, then when my mobile calls
in, it sees the number and changed the caller ID to "Mobile" <07XXX XXX XXX>

Is this doable?
Most "proper" PBX's with display phones do this don't they?

Yes. <http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?p=143> is what I was about to
embark upon.......perhaps once you've configured it for the UK you'd be
kind enough to share?
