I have an ISDN phone with 4 numbers associated with it and which one I get phoned on gets logged on my PC (even though I do not have incoming calls enabled). As a corollorary to that (and more relevant to your question) it again depends on whether the number of the person phoning you is "visible". Here in Holland my phone displays the number of the person calling, but the caller can easily suppress that ability by typing in a special code. In short you should be able to do it somehow with ISDN, but with ordinary analog lines I have no idea. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
