- Sounds like either you haven't enabled caller ID on your modem (change your
- init string for the port with that modem). The other possibility is... You
- can't answer the phone on the first ring anymore! Caller ID normally happens
- (in my area) between the first and SECOND rings. Thus I can't answer my phone
- till the THIRD ring.

- Side note: Are you aware that the cnet bbs sysops list is back in operation?
