[VoIP] Fun with Pat and Jane

[windmill]

Steph,

Thanks so much for that little gem of info! I was always puzzled by 
calls from apparently no-one. These days if I don't see a valid caller 
ID on my PSTN calls, i.e. UNAVAILABLE, INTERNATIONAL, WITHHELD etc then 
I simply don't answer them. Eventually I will hook up my PSTN landline 
to my *box but I won't be ready to do that for some time and I don't 
have a pressing need as yet.
