Just thought I'd try it from home (Houston, Tx) -- it got the right
number, but no mention of my LD carrier.

I can see a use for this at my house.  I used to have an 3b1 with the
VoicePower board (8bit ISDNish chip and software) which I used as an
answering machine at my house.  With a toy from the company who has
the 800 number, I could have different messages depending on who's
calling.

Too bad I don't like ANI.  I'll go back to the 3b1 with my message of
"If you're in Eric's secret club, enter the password from your
touchtone phone.  Otherwise, leave a message at the beep."  It allowed
my friends to call me from payphones and bypass the answering machine
all together.
