Bill,

Thank you for the offer.  I am also using Garnet's system as a model.  I
still don't yet understand exactly how it works but I am getting there.  I
got the file from the ftp.gallops.com site.

Good luck with the ring kill.

Question:  Without your ring kill, does garnets system answer on the first
ring if it is a solicitor or blocked caller id?

Kevin
