[ILUG] OT: Caller ID was (Re: [ILUG] Research of Linux in Ireland)

[Robert Sweetnam]

Usually, if you are dialling out through a PABX system your display number
on the other end of the line
is the main number of the where you are dialling from. for example, (Im
leaving myself open for attack here)
my direct dial no. at work is 021-281937, but it shows up as EMC's main no.
which is 021-281500
I finish tomorrow, so that number will be invalid.

Regards
Robert
