  I think so, and it can even make a decision as to wether to pick up
based upon that info. I don't know --- I won't pay Bell more money for
that service.

  I don't know. what else do you do with it? 
  Is it a desktop?

  I use a PII-233Mhz with a 4Gb disk, running debian. Two FXO, 1xDID,
outgoing LD, and multiple IAX to other offices.  I wouldn't want to have
my phones down while I install a new kernel on my desktop.

  I know of no way to do that.
  I had an answering machine for a long time for this ability, but my
wife didn't like it, so we got call-answer again.
