On the system I have at work (a System 85), we have a database with
names and basically have internal caller ID for those phones equipped
with digital displays (7404, 7406 AT&T). If you dial someone else on
the switch, their display shows your name as translated by the switch
database. (ie your telephone station is your name). Since there are
trunk lines going between our switch and the local Telco (Diamond
State, same as a posting from the other day), what are the chances
that on May 1st, I will see a telephone number in my display from
outside callers rather than "INCOMING" which now displays?
PS: I always get a chuckle thinking that I should dive under my desk
when the phone rings and it says INCOMING!
