I realize this is probably something one learns in Telco 101, which I haven't taken, but if CNID == Caller ID, wouldn't ANI be *more* useful? Or does CNID report the number regardless of Caller-ID blocking on PRI lines/etc? (I'm assuming that CNID == standard Caller-ID as it appears on POTS, and that ANI == the special service that 800-lines get that *always* reports the number, regardless of blocking..if I'm wrong, I'll accept the LART.) -dalvenjah -- Dalvenjah FoxFire (aka Sven Nielsen) College is a fountain of knowledge...
