Tracing is the incorrect term. What you meant to say was it would be more difficult to identify the source number. You dont trace a call with ANI. Alot of your ability to identify the source number is determined by what type of lines you own. PRI's provide source numbers using the d channel. T1's do not use a d-channel and you would need to rely on SMDR records, which is transfered after the call, analog doesnt pass the number (with the exception of Caller ID, which is useless. ANI is a service that can be requested to provide numbers when you normally dont have the capability to get them.
Hope this helps clear up a few things.
