Caller ID help

[Mike Arrigo]

You may want to consider getting a talking caller id box, I used to use a
modem for caller id, and a box that talks I think is much better. These will
mainly only give you numbers, not names. Go to www.classco.com. They make
several models. I have one here, and it is great.
