is it possible?

I have a option 11 system that connects to the outside world through some Ground start trunks, these trunks have about 240+ DID numbers Riding on them, when makeing a call out it transmits the Trunk # and not the DID, for the caller ID, is there a "Simple" way to get it to transmit the DID's ?? (short of changing to PRI's or something simular)

Not that I know of. You are using that trunk to make the call, so that is what the lec sends.

connect your provider,they can send a single number for you. they can not send switch information because they don't see it. but can send the main number on a per trunk group basis...

How many ground start trunks do you have. You might look at getting PRI. After the cost of the card and any keycode packages you need, it might be cheaper on a per month basis. I think the cut off is 11 analog circuits before a T1 becomes cheaper.

Plus the PRI connection will allow you to send out the DID number to the caller, or the lead number, on a set by set programable basis.
