I shouldn't write such strong words at the end of a long day; I apologize. The failure to report the time problem is significant, but not crippling. What does cripple the implementation is erroneous reporting of calls from long-distance areas that don't pass IDs as being blocked rather than being unavailable. There is one specific byte that controls how the CID display categorizes the incoming call. It's an ASCII 'O' if the number is unavailable or an ASCII 'P' if privacy has been invoked. They are passed as the first character of the telephone number field. For those who care about such mundane things, I've attached a graphic showing how the fields are constructed. </PRE> <P><A HREF="gif00000.gif">CallerID.gif</A></P> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg09271.html">RE: (ASCEND) caller-id on POTS port of new P75</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Clifford Donley <cliff@donleys.com></LI> </UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg09262.html">RE: (ASCEND) caller-id on POTS port of new P75</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: "Derek J.
