Re: [ECS] Does Panasonic Pass Caller-ID? J Gary Mull Thu, 07 Sep 2000 18:52:49 -0400

I have a new Panasonic Digital 1232 system and it does pass caller id to
stations with a LCD....  Maybe this weekend I can check the stats...as I
think it will pass caller id to one analog station.

  I no longer use ECS for telephone messages as I was never able to get the
system to perform many of the tasks I did with DOS, plus I could not depend
upon it anymore.  I gave up on the modem and installed a the new small
Panasonic voice mail system, I am very pleased.  I had many complaints from
callers with ECS and often I could not hear their messages.
