Yet another question: An associate of mine (and a good friend too!) is trying to experiment with Caller*ID and using Caller*ID in a variety of devices. (PCs, pagers, etc.) He asked me about getting technical info on how the info is sent, so I thought someone here may know. Basically, all he needs to do is build a device that gets the number and can send it along digitally to whatever circuit he wishes to connect to the Caller*ID device. (Sort of like a regular Caller*ID device but without the screen...). So what he/I need to know is what "signal" to look for between the 1st and 2nd rings (which, I think, is when the number is sent), and how it is to be decoded, if at all. I realize that some info to this effect has been posted here before, so if anyone can direct me to it, I'd be most appreciative. (If anyone else is curious, I'll summarize any/all replies that I get.) Thanks in advance! Doug dreuben@eagle.wesleyan.edu dreuben@wesleyan.bitnet
