May I ask where you live that you have an ADSI phone "at home"?  I've been 
involved with CallerID testing since the inception of the idea, and I'd 
never heard of ADSI until this week.  The entire thing just blows me away; 
can't understand why I've never heard one thing about it.  I have to assume 
that it never made it to the U.S... despite what all the articles I'm 
finding claim (written back in 1993-1999).  Either that, or it just never 
made it out to my neck of the wood (Santa Barbara, CA), which is entirely 
possible since Verizon/GTE rules the land here and they are always a decade 
behind the rest of the country.
