    I worked for the phone company up here in the frozen north for a
while and I never heard anything about a 'header' being transmitted
down the line. There are some wonderfull things that your central
office can do (depending on how new and sophisticated it is) but this
isn't one I know about. I am now working on the development of one of
the latest C.O.s and again, this "feature" is not on the list. If
anyone knows any different please tell me and I will talk to the
designers here and get our system updated.
