May I ask where you live that you have an ADSI phone "at home"?  I've
been  involved with CallerID testing since the inception of the idea,
and I'd  never heard of ADSI until this week.  The entire thing just
blows me away;  can't understand why I've never heard one thing about
it.  I have to assume  that it never made it to the U.S... despite what
all the articles I'm  finding claim (written back in 1993-1999).  Either
that, or it just never  made it out to my neck of the wood (Santa
Barbara, CA), which is entirely  possible since Verizon/GTE rules the
land here and they are always a decade  behind the rest of the country.

It made it to the US. The problem was cost. No one is willing to spend that much money for a phone when they could buy a webtv or a email station. If they are really a step ahead of the curve, they spent the money on a PC.

When you say "that much", what were the costs at the time? _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
