- What do they want for Caller ID in your area? I'm only paying $5 a month,
- no cost on incomming calls. The thing is, the phone companies need to spend
- more on maintenance of the local loops to provide Caller ID. If I remember
- right, it's harder to send at 1200bps onhook than 2400bps offhook.. At least
- thats what one person who works for Michigan Bell told me, and I've kinda
