Do you get realtime ANI from your 800 service or just detailed billing? I'd be curious as to the details if you get it realtime. For example who is your service provider, is it a readyline type service or dedicated service? Is ANI available from your local BOC? Is the format of the ANI data compatible with the inexpensive (relatively) adapters that give it to you in RS-232? My 800 number (National Telecommunications in Austin) provides "ANI" on my readyline-type 800 bumber by printing the number on my monthly bill or a supplement they send six weeks later because only about 30% of the numbers show on my bill because they 'don't get the data in time' Still about 5% show the incomming number and location as 000-000-0000 *** NOT AVAILIBLE ***. I can think of a lot of applications for realtime ANI on both my home and work lines.
