Well, then why don't the other phones sound out
the data string with the
ringers?
Wrong.
Caller id senses the ring and does not go off hook as that would
disturb
the CO and it is uneeded. Instead the ring is an
alert to the caller
ID
that data will follow and it's already camped
on the line using a
non-DC
>(capacitor coupled) connection to avoid loading the line. this allows
>it to hear the ring and the data.

I have some Tapes and documentation from Northern Telecom from one of my
curbside finds. The tapes are labelled 5 Fifty 5, which I imagine is the
program name and 1600bpi 310Hci . There is also rather thick book SL-1
Business Communications System. Generic X11. Anyone wants it it's available
for shipping costs. Hate to toss it as it must be valuable to someone into
telephonery.
