Mark I have not upgraded in about a month or so.  I for instance do not have
the update that corrects the Caller-id out-of -the-area situation.  I need to
make a log of config changes before I can install the most recent upgrade.
Glad to know that little monster bug is fixed!  THANKS!!!   I'll try to make my
config changes and install in the next few days.

Gary, This is NOT a hardware problem, but an internal
ECS bug that I should have corrected a while back.
When did you last download an update ?
