My brother-in-law (Torre) has a small business which employs about ten
people.  He currently uses a LD system wherein there is a dialer on
each line that absorbs the phone number and a unique ID code, then
redials the call on a 950 number.  When the bill comes, it is sorted
by ID number and thus Torre can see who made what calls and how much
each employee spent on the phone.

Calls are being processed on "Call America," a undistinguished (IMHO)
LD carrier giving what seem to be average rates.  They seem to excel
at saving money on INTRA-LATA calls, while are competitive on
INTER-LATA calls.

Questions:  

    Does anyone know anything of interest about Call America?

    Can anyone suggest any similar solutions that are CO or LD-switch 
    based, i.e.do not require the dialer on the line?
