I understand from the definition in GLOSSARY.TXT that ANI info is passed from the LEC to the IEC. I can see how a 800- or 900- service customer could get the ANI info, since his incoming calls are all routed thru the particular IEC. What I do not understand is, could a small business could get the ANI info without buying an 800 or (heaven forbid) a 900 number? Sorry to re-hash this topic, but the subject has come up locally.

They of course can get Caller ID in many places with regular lines, and the end result may be much the same, but many here will hasten to tell you ANI is not Caller ID. PAT]
