The question I have is whether or not anyone knows anything about whether or
not one can run a traceback on a phonecall.  A friend of mine says that the
phone company is now transmitting a "header" with the call that, if one knows
the format, could decode it at display the calling number.

I would appreciate any information, possible ic's that might do the decoding,
theory, specifications, etc.  Please reply via e-mail.  Thanx.
