There have been customer acceptance tests conducted on this technology by
Bell of Pennsylvania in the Harrisburg, PA area. I think they took place a
couple of years ago. The device tested had the ability to display the
telephone number of the incoming caller, "lock out" certain numbers from
being able to call yours, and a couple others I can't remember. I wonder
what the results of those tests were. Anybody out there know??
