[Electronics-Talk] Talking Call Waiting Device

[cheez]

I have one of those Classco talking Caller ID boxes, and it doesn't nor has 
never, had the Call Waiting feature.
I recall that feature was offered from the phone company, and it was a 
separate feature.  The identification came through the phone.  And it was 
inconsistent.  I saw no need to waste money on an iffy feature, so I dropped 
it.

Landlines will go the way of the phone booth.  When was the last time you 
saw one of those?
