- Here at Tulane we have a PBX system where each phone has its own number;
- you dial directly to the phone on my desk. A friend of mine has caller
- ID, and the number that shows on his caller ID box is NOT the number you
- would have to call to reach me. In fact, it isn't the same number every
- time I call. He has tried calling the number that shows up on his
- caller ID box, and it just rings with no answer.
