  It seems to me that the transmission of the caller's phone number
with that number displayed on a read out device on the receiving
end would result in a lot less crank and obscene phone calls.
  In Laura's example of the persistent headhunter, they would not
be able to get the unlisted number unless you called them. While
transmitting the caller's number has its drawbacks, I think
its a good idea.
