This may be an incredibly elementary question, but I'll risk it...

Anyone know if there's a way to isolate the output from the VAX Phone Utility?

I'm thinking along the lines of logicals like SYS$OUTPUT and SYS$ERROR and
PAS$OUTPUT, etc., which you can assign to files. What I'm trying to do is
capture the output of the message, "(USERNAME) is phoning you .. blah blah" and
stick it to a file somewhere, so that perhaps the file can be searched for
usernames before the phone call is accepted. That way obnoxious jerks could be
kept from phoning a user without the user having to turn off their broadcast.

anyone know of a way to accomplish this?
