Great!  The Out-of-Area CID stuff works!

Now, one question...

It looks like you set Caller-ID-Name to "?" when the number is valid, but
the name is not.  How do I check that?  I can't set a text item to "?" for
comparison, since that's the HELP button...

Ultimately, I want my CID announcements to announce names only when they're
available, but if just the number is available, I want the number announced.
