Even though the tentative turn-on date of Caller*ID is July 1, the business office has no information to offer me yet. Does one normally purchase the display box from the phone company, or is rental of one included in the monthly fee for Caller*ID? I'd like to get a box that has an RS-232 port on the back so I can have my computer monitor it. Is such a device available? Finally, what about support for multiple lines? Are there multi-line boxes I can hook all my phone lines to, or must I purchase a separate box for each line? John W. Temples -- john@jwt.UUCP (uunet!jwt!john)
