Recently, the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission, approved the filing by Bell Canada for a Caller ID tariff. However, in reading the tariff, there was one disturbing factor, the feature would *NOT* be available for incoming PBX trunks. Is there any technical reason for this? These are normal hunt trunks. Nothing fancy like DID. Is there a political reason for this? My greatest need of Caller ID is to interface a hotel reservations system with the Caller ID to come up with the particular callers file and to verify the number given with the reservation to establish how valid the reservation is. Not to make it available on PBX trunks would seem to eliminate the largest user of the service. ||| Marcel D. Mongeon ||| e-mail: ... (uunet, maccs)!joymrmn!root or ||| joymrmn!marcelm
