Sounds right - I have Jetstream but can't get caller display

318800 2005-01-29 01:04:00 The caller display facility works by sending an asynchronous serial (1200 bps) string with the number between the ring tones. If your exchange has a motor driven ring generator, it can't do that. ;) Graham L (2)
318801 2005-01-29 05:59:00 Any exchange with a motor driven ringer wouldn't be able to do lots more than just caller display. Most of Telecom's exchanges are NEC NEAX 61s. Only the later 61E does the full range of add-on services. The earlier 61K in smaller exchanges was often expanded by adding some separate 61E subcriber modules controlled remotely from another 61E so you can get neighbours with differing levels of service. With the so called "Next Generation" of IP based system almost here Telecom aren't spending much on upgrades PaulD (232)

318803 2005-01-31 10:02:00 Get a phoneline installed at this place 100m down the road, shove one of those fancy long-range portable phones on it, and use a second base-station and handset at your place. ;) agent (30)
318804 2005-01-31 20:49:00 Better still, make everyone phone your cellphone. That has caller display on it. ;) FoxyMX (5)
