Thanks Mark,

With that info I was anble to get it up and running quickly. I get the idea that with
a little code you could react differently based on the caller / state #. For example
could you have family in the 1000 - 1099 range and have them put through no matter what
time with all others only put through when awake?

  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?
