My CID box is before my distinctive ring splitter box and it catches CID on
all "lines".  But I am still looking for a way for ECS to get CID on call
waiting.

Frank,

Is ECS between the ring discriminator and the incoming line, or does the
ring discriminator get the line first? I wonder if the ring discriminator is
"eating" the CID data stream.

Subject: [ECS] CID Question


I have Distinctive Ring on one phone line.  It gives me two ph numbers one
of which I give as the FAX Number.  I have a ring splitter box, and ECS
monitors both.  When ECS sees it is a FAX call, it speaks: Incoming Fax
call.  I used to get also the standard CID-C announceement.  After Phone
company said all was well I noticed $20 standalone box does record CID
digits for incoming fax call, but ECS does not.
Phone company says due to the double cadenance of the ringing I am missing
it.  Phone Interface-C is Zoom 14.4 Modem.  MLM-8 if put in Service does no
better. This is not an ECS Software issue.
Can anyone recommend a CID device which will work with the Distinctive  Ring
AKA ring master etc??
Thanks, Frank
