If you dial someone else on the switch, their display shows your name as translated by the switch database. (ie your telephone station is your name). Since there are trunk lines going between our switch and the local Telco (Diamond State, same as a posting from the other day), what are the chances that on May 1st, I will see a telephone number in my display from outside callers rather than "INCOMING" which now displays? PS: I always get a chuckle thinking that I should dive under my desk when the phone rings and it says INCOMING! - tom internet : mvac23!thomas@udel.edu or thomas%mvac23@udel.edu uucp : {ucbvax,mcvax,psuvax1,uunet}!udel!mvac23!thomas Europe Bitnet: THOMAS1@GRATHUN1 Location: Newark, DE, USA
