Regarding: Tracer Box

	No, that type of device can NOT be built by normal users of the
phone system. It requires work at the local TelCo itself. I heard that 
one of the Companies (one of Ma Bells pieces) is offering that service
on their lines, but with a fee for each call traced. Also, they are
offering a box that will display the # of who is calling you as the
phone is ringing.  (Again at a "small" charge.)

	Too bad, it could have been useful!
