regarding having your phone ask for the caller's id:

There is a magic box someone makes that does ask for a "password"
before letting the caller through.  The caller doesn't *have*
to be on a touch-tone (tm) phone. I'm not sure, but it might have
multiple passwords and 'ports', that is password one would get you
the answering machine, password two would actually ring the phone, etc.
Sounded like a nice toy. I still think the caller's number
would be useful. It would cut down on crank calls if nothing else.
