There has been mention in a few past issues of devices such as
ClassMate which read the Caller-ID info and pass it on to a computer.
I have a Northern Telecom "Maestro" phone which displays incoming
numbers.  If I buy ClassMate, will *both* devices be able to read the
incoming data?

It's worth noting that I am in Canada, in Bell Canada territory.  As
David O'Heare (gandlaf!oheare@uunet.uu.net) mentioned in volume 11,
issue 57, Canada's data is different from the US CLASS data.  So
perhaps the real question is "Will ClassMate work at all?"

Thanks,
