It has been a couple of years since I had 800 service (from AT&T) for inward dialing of a modem connection. I repeatedly asked about this because of my vulnerbility to the hacker and was told all they offered was a 24 hour sampling of the area codes of the calling party (I think in the last year or so they said they could identify the LATA of the caller). I know MCI and some of the others offer this service, but if AT&T offers it, it is new. J.

Actually I think they were doing it before MCI, et al were able to. PT]
