They don't even have to be very complex: (a) Have a 'privacy' prefix, like the current *70 Cancel Call Waiting prefix. (b) Telephones with unlisted numbers show up as 'unlisted'. Outdial phones for emergency centers or shelters would just be unlisted. End of problem. --- Peter da Silva, *NIX support guy @ Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
