You could find out the number of the local ANI (Automatic Number Identification) To your prefix. This is a telephone company number, which is rarely given out to the public. Persuading a local Phone Co. repair worker might yield the number, or posting a request on "comp.dcom.telecom" may find someone (almost assuredly) who has it. When you dial this number it will read you back the number (in a computer voice) that you are calling from. If none of the above attempts work, send me mail, I have another trick that will yeild the numbers you need Nationwide.... > > 2. Any way to do this via a modem? Yes, if you get the ANI number, just leave your modem speaker on. If you mean have it transmit via modem, No. Hope this helps... Let me know... Sean
