That's usually a matter of how modern the switches in your area are. In
Houston, it's better than that. Eventually everyone will go to SS7 and
you'll be able to return/id anyone in the country. Well, unless they're
on a PBX. Most PBXes don't provide line ID and so CNI is never generated.
We're using a callback system at work, but it's inconvenient. I'd really
like to be able to pick up the calling line ID in my getty and skip the
dialback when it's there.
