Yes and yes.

Where provided by the ISDN carrier, both calling station-ID and called
station-ID can be tracked by the PM3 used in conjunction with RADIUS 2.0.
These two attributes are generated in the RADIUS start/stop records.

Example records:

Wed May 8 10:51:12 1996
Acct-Session-Id = "F400020E"
User-Name = "Pandy"
Client-Id = 172.16.1.21
Client-Port-Id = 12
NAS-Port-Type = ISDN
Acct-Status-Type = Start
Acct-Authentic = RADIUS
Called-Station-Id = "4856702"
Calling-Station-Id = "5104856754"
User-Service-Type = Framed-User
Framed-Protocol = PPP
Framed-Address = 172.16.93.1
Acct-Delay-Time = 0

Wed May 8 11:37:30 1996
Acct-Session-Id = "F400020C"
User-Name = "pmtest"
Client-Id = 172.16.1.21
Client-Port-Id = 14
NAS-Port-Type = ISDN
Acct-Status-Type = Stop
Acct-Session-Time = 5450
Acct-Authentic = Local
Acct-Input-Octets = 110509
Acct-Output-Octets = 263779
Called-Station-Id = "4856704"
User-Service-Type = Framed-User
Framed-Protocol = PPP
Framed-Address = 172.16.131.5
Acct-Delay-Time = 0
