I have been hammering on the company that hosts the mailserv.  Perhaps they did 
something.  As soon as I swing my backbone over to Cogent and start using my 
own IPs I plan on hosting this list myself.

  As far as I can tell no one makes HDMI pass-through units that will display 
the information on the screen.  There are a few high-visibility units on ebay 
that may work for viewing across the room, that depends on the person and the 
room though.

    I'm trying to save my Mom some money with the obscene amount she pays 
    Comcast each month for the black&white 4x3 TV shows she watches, but one 
    of the things she really likes is that with her Triple play, the Caller 
    ID Information for her landline calls pops up on the TV Screen.

    It looks like standalone Caller ID Boxes may be a thing of the past, 
    unless I'm searching amazon for the wrong thing.    Hearing and vision 
    are not that great, so needs to be a large bright display. Ebay has some 
    old models, but they don't look very large, or bright.  I'm guessing 
    there's not a box that the HDMI Cable would pass through and add caller 
    ID as an overlay as the screen.

    Many of you have been doing Telco fora long time, what CallerID devices 
    have there been over the years that might work?  I'm thinking something 
    like the size of a tablet that you could see from across the room.  If 
    it could announce it audibly too, that would be nice.
