Cisco have released version 8.3.3 (registration required) of software for 7941 and 7961 phones. There are still a number of known bugs, however a number of issues that I saw on a regular basis seem to be fixed. The release notes detail the changes in this version.
NOTE: This info is VERY outdated and doesn’t work anymore. You should look at the new script for services provided by Reverse Australia.
So since I found the Australian gray pages on a lovely web site, I wanted to integrate this info into asterisk. 30 minutes of perl hacking later, and it works. enjoy 
The following script & example will enable a reverse lookup of incoming caller ID and replace the name section with the lookup. It also allows you to maintain a comma separated file in number,name format. If this finds a match, it will add the name in the file to the caller ID string. If nothing is found in the file, it will consult the grey pages.
Updated 24/8/07: changed script URL to reflect new grey pages site.
After looking around and not finding any decent script to read the weather for Asterisk, I decided to write my own.
The code is downloadable here. Save the file to /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/getweather.agi.
To use this script in Asterisk, copy the following into /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:
exten => 997,1,Answer
exten => 997,2,agi,getweather.agi
exten => 997,3,Hangup
Update 6/6: I’ve updated this script to v1.1 now. I’ve fixed up a parsing error and also added more wind directions – the BOM add more than I thought 
On the 3rd May, the ACMA launched the Australian do not call register. This register forbids telemarketing calls to registered numbers 30 days after registering them. In the first 48 hours, the number of registrations whizzed past 250,000 numbers proving without a doubt that people just don’t want to be bothered by telemarketers! I suggest that all Australians who are sick of telemarketers register their number.
