There is a burst of BELL 202 (an ancient standard) modem data between the first and second rings. I'm not sure of the exact format. Probably comp. dcom.telecom would be helpful.. Side note: I recall a product being marketed on the east coast that would automatically pull up a customer's record from dBase when they called. This used software and hardware to interface the caller ID to dBase. A neat idea, I think. -- ----------------------------------------------------- Gordon S.
