I didn't see it in the GSM 03.38 standard. How wide is such support? How is that supprot through the GSM? using the "user defined" 8bits (Bit 3 2 = "0 1"? ) or something else?   ================================== Frank Yung-Fong Tang System Architect, I�t�rn�ti�n�l D�v�l�pme�t, AOL Int�r��t�v� S�rvi�es AIM:yungfongta mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:650-937-2913 Yahoo!
