Jup, omnipcx 4400.

The * box displays callerid in internal/external calls (the omnipcx is 
owned by a seperate company, we just didn't want to pay to call them 
(they're in the same building))

I had a slight configuration problem with the S0 adapter that resulted 
in nothing working, but that's all fixed now, you're right though, it's 
an all/nothing senario - either it all worked or none of it worked.

I've just been onto BT again, and it seems they did have CLIP on the 
line for a few minutes, but then they removed it again and put COLP on, 
which they then told me was the same as CLIP... monkeys :(

Wait... I take that back.. calling BT a bunch of monkeys is insulting to 
monkeys.

They then proceeded to tell me that I didn't need to purchase a 
"presentation number" service (that allows us to display our 
non-geographic numberto people with CLIP rather than our geographic 
one)... I could just tell my switch to send whatever callerID I wanted 
and it'd get displayed... BT ISDN2e - the phreakers delight :)


Thanks for all your help...
