Unfortunately, (a) my office phone has no caller ID, and (b) my goal
would be to *build* such a list of fax callers, so I could tell them to
call elsewhere. (I have perfectly good incoming FAX functionality
through a separate departmental FAX number.)

I suppose this is a problem that will gradually disappear as FAXes go
the way of telegrams.
