Lauren, wouldn't you agree that when the "System" (is still
only one system?) completes the implementation of CCIS it will
be possible for the passing of calling party number to the
called party?  I do.  I also believe that if such a feature ever
gets set up that a customer will pay for the option of not
having his number transmitted.  In fact, it may be the default
for those customers that have unlisted numbers.

There is the capability in CCIS for the automatic accepting of
collect calls from specified numbers.  The customer would/could
simply enter the phone numbers with command codes as they do
now to forward calls or to program the speed calling features.
In order for this to work always, the "system" might selectively
keep the originating phone number from going out to the subscriber
and just send it along far enough to make a go no go decision.  For
those numbers that allow transmission of their numbers, the numbers
will be transmitted all the way to the destination "instrument".
	aps.

P.S.  I just had new phones installed and the number that was given
to me by the business office was not correct (I could not dial the
new number from my main number).  I called the operator and she
confirmed that it was not the number I was calling from but would
not tell me what it was...
