(Existing reject box designers haven't yet figured out how to insert
CID after second ring. Shouldn't it be easy enough with a micro?? )

So you only want to dump incoming 800 numbers, but let every thing else
thru.
The CID appears between the first and second rings.

So you should be able to grab it and determine if the number should be
hung up,
Before the second ring.

Then you need a V.23 1200 baud modem to reinsert the CID after the
second ring.

Sounds like its doable, lotsa time between rings. A PIC would work. You
would need a blocking circuit for when the modem retransmits the CID.
Ma Bell might not be happy with extra CID data on their lines.

That re-insertion is the tricky part.


Not really. Simulate a CO line and insert the CID. If you pick up
the phone, tranfer that phone to the outside line.
