You could then not answer the phone if you didn't know the number or have a device that would automatically refer certain numbers to an answering machine or even have a busy signal for specified callers! Did Radio-Electronics recently have information on this carrier and a project for such a device. I'm interested in more details on this and how it works. Does someone have moreo information on this carrier? Thanks. nivek Aka : Kevin Dowling Bell: (412) 268-8830 Arpa: nivek@rover.ri.cmu.edu Mail: Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pgh, PA 15213-3890
