As you may know, the Texas PUC has decided that CallerID is in violation
of a state wiretap law, and thus has declared the service illegal.  This
is not the end of the story, though.  The same thing has happened in many
other states, with CallerID winning out in most.  So, don't give up (and
write a letter to the PUC demanding CallerID).

             requires CallerID.
