Perhaps the basic idea is to find the person operating the transmitter and choke him. dan herrick herrickd@iccgcc.decnet.ab.com [Moderator's Note: There are all these 'scenarios' people come up with -- red herrings, really -- as excuses for not having Caller ID. From your example above, I take it you would rather force the people to answer the phone every time it rings -- being unable to tell in advance who is calling -- rather than sit down with the people as one parent speaking with another to discuss and correct the misbehavior of your children.
