Abstract
A telephone system which detects ring signals and detects caller ID signals and decodes them into caller ID data and then reformats the caller ID data into one or more alphanumeric strings useable by another computer process such as a point of sale computer process. User input is accepted such as by manipulation of switches to control the telephone system so as to add predetermine prefix or suffix codes or data to one or more items of caller ID data in accordance with the occurrence or existence of predetermined conditions that must be signalled to the computer process using the caller ID data being formatted by the telephone system.
