Create a file called callerid.txt in the following format:

612-561-5554    1000    Grandma Witry
330-825-5311    1001    Greg Witry's family
330-283-0654    1001    Greg Witry
651-388-2100    1002    Mark's mother
630-879-1120    1003    The Barretts

The center numbers (1000, 1001, 1002, etc.)  are unique state numbers for a
given name.  Note that I use 1001 twice, as it is the same person, different
phone number.

Create a CID item with the path to callerid.txt as the name.

You'll then need event lines something like this:

| BEGINIF Somebodies home Is On

| If Caller-ID-C Is GE 1000

| And Caller-ID-C Is LE 1999

| Then Text-a T1<-T1 MSG: Answer phone

| Then Text-a Set <Space>

| Then Text-a T1/A<-T1 Caller ID: Name

| Then Text-a Set Speak->VC

| ENDIF



Note that my MSG: Answer phone item is a text item with the text "Answer the
phone it's"

  I've been having ECS announce CID info when calls come in and it works
great. However, I would like to have it announce "Mom is calling" instead of
"Cincinnati is calling from xxx-xxxx". How do I go about having ECS
associate custom names with CID? I've heard some talk about setting up text
files and then searching based upon the CID-Number?

  Any ideas?
