There has been mention in a few past issues of devices such as ClassMate which read the Caller-ID info and pass it on to a computer. I have a Northern Telecom "Maestro" phone which displays incoming numbers. If I buy ClassMate, will *both* devices be able to read the incoming data? It's worth noting that I am in Canada, in Bell Canada territory. As David O'Heare (gandlaf!oheare@uunet.uu.net) mentioned in volume 11, issue 57, Canada's data is different from the US CLASS data. So perhaps the real question is "Will ClassMate work at all?" Thanks, Eric R. Skinner UUCP: ...!dataco!xgml!ers Software Exoterica Corporation Internet: xgml!ers@dataco.UUCP

You can connect ClassMate, and your Maestro and other Caller*ID receiving devices in parallel up to the REN limit for your line. Each device is a passive listener, and does not interfere with other similar devices on the same line. I don't know whether or not ClassMate will work in Canada. Perhaps there is a similar product aimed at the Canadian market? Dave Levenson Internet: dave@westmark.com Westmark, Inc.

In re TELECOM Digest V11 #75 (item 8): I have a ClassMate and an LCD display unit on the same line. Both devices read the incoming data. I live in Northern Virginia, in Bell Atlantic territory. I don't know if ClassMate will work in Canada. Alan B. Owens Building 182, Room 3M106 Staff Programmer 800 N.
