- I just found out that I can get Caller-ID so I thought I'd rush
- right out (call) and get one of the kits that I see so often in
- Electronic Shopper.
-
- They're all gone! (or at least I didn't see them)
-
- If you know of a good kit, please give me the details.
-
- Also, Home Automation Labs sells some pricey units that suppport the
- name field. Do most units do this. The HAL description lead me to
- think that this was special.
-
- Oh, yes, how hard do you think it would be to use one Caller-ID unit
- for two phones? I shouldn't have a hard time switching it to the
- ringing line for a few seconds. I'm not worried about simultaneous
- calls.
-
- Thanks!
