I was first assigned the new number, then the representative from Southern Bell checked to see if that exchange qualified for their new (apparently pre-caller-id) package of services, which they call (here we go again with these blasted stars) Touch*Star. The services she offered were: 1) selective call forwarding...forwarding only specified numbers 2) automatic callback of last calling party 3) distinctive ring based on calling party 4) call trace (I didn't get all the details) Does this mean that this switch is caller-id ready - just waiting for the politics to come around? Is this an all-digital or digital/analog switch? -- Turner John Wheeler E N T E R T A I N M E N T ...!gatech!nanovx!techwood!johnw Networks Techwood Library * home of Superstation TBS * TNT * TBS Sports
