true, but Japan is a particularly bad place when it comes to adhering to any kind of standard. The Japanese love to be different and shut themselves off from the rest of the world. Consider the Japanese caller ID, "numbah jispleh" (number display) as it is called over here ... First the information is encoded twice and checksummed twice as if they had planned to send the signal to the other end of the galaxy. Then they send the encoded signal not between rings but you actually have to pick up the line, let your code listen to the criss cross FSK encoded caller ID signal and then hang up again within 20 msec, so the call can then continue to ring your line. Now if that isn't bizarr as bizarr can be, even by Japanese standards, then I don't know what bizarr is. I certainly wouldn't expect any non-Japanese equipment to be able to support this. However, there is a guy who said he was looking into it and apparently Steve Underwood had already done some work beforehand which I didn't even know about. Masakazu, Isamar and myself had asked for developers to contact us to see what kind of a bounty would be required to get this done. If everybody poppoing up occasionally on this list of the Wiki, living in Japan puts down 100 USD for a joint bounty, that should do the trick. So, we will be happy to pencil Murata-san in for his ichi-man-yen contribution towards the bounty when that developer gets back to us ;-) rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
