How big/$$$ a phone system would be needed to accomplish this?Not all that huge a system. A lot of small PBXes will let you do it.But, just having a CD-ROM phone database and using it to look theaddress up each time you get a call will get you 80% of the way there.I believe that when Pizza Hut first set their system up, they weretaking caller-id data and using a combined database consisting of botha CD-ROM phone database and a database of customers and using that.If someone was not listed, the order entry folks would request nameand address and put it into the database.This is handy because in addition the database can contain informationabout previous orders. If someone is suddenly ordering small pizzaswhen they used to order larges, you could offer them a particularpromotion, for example. If someone is known to be a bad customer,with a history of problems, the order entry folks will know it.--scott"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."
