[comp.dcom.telecom] Caller*ID and Modems

peter@uunet.uu.net (09/25/89)

Here's a product I'd pay money for in a couple of years, a modem that
prints the message "RING 7135551212" when the phone rings with caller*ID
information. Not only would it save me buying an extra box for the phone,
but it'd make things a lot easier for hobby BBS operators to shut out
bad guys. Plus, folks like osu-cis who support anonymous-uucp would be
able to track all the folks who call them... more anon-uucp sites would
be showing up.

I hope Hayes or someone is working on this, but just in case they're not
this idea is hereby in the public domain :->.
