how are you going to do that on POTS with no callerID?

explain... the best you can get if non-POTS is an IP address which could be a

 TR> so wether the name is real or not is mute.

the term is "moot"... "mute" means "to quiet"... "moot" means "object/subject 
of/to discussion"

BTW: top posting sucks! i refuse to fix top posted quotes to provide proper 
context of replies... this is fidonet, damnit! ;) :) O:)
