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!
