[Electronics-talk] Talking Caller ID for land line

[wmodnl wmodnl]

Land-line! :), What are those? Is that a phone with a dial? :)
In all seriousness, has anyone on this discussion mentioned the Panasonic cordless phones with the talking I.D? I had one, although it had many flaws.  Basicly, you could only hear the information on the call as it came in.  You could never hear the number since, it always tried to match the number with a name, or simply say, out-of-area.  Have a good evening.
