Hi May I ask what you used to interrogate the CallerID string out of the modem? There is only one teleco in the UK (well, losely speaking) which provides the actual copper which goes into your house, so it should (in theory) be possible for me to do the same with my USR? Or does USR not work with the CallerID stuff? Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info
