PT] In my area, a call placed from the 688 exchange (a 30,000+ line CO using 5ESS) returns the correct number. A call placed from the adjacent 741 exchange (a 3,000 line former CDO with ten-year old 3ESS) results in the 555-5555 number, with the correct area code, however. Obviously, the 3ESS is not transmitting the ANI data. Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp.
