Hi Doug,
They were in my message from 2 hours ago about the *81 line of code.
By the way, the *81 now works also.
 3. If I wanted a 2 second delay at the start of the announcement how
would I do that?4. If I wanted to add "Redmond Oregon" after my call, how could I do
that?
As always, Doug, thanks for the very prompt answers to questions.  You
and the others at Hamvoip (staff and users) are just fantastic.  Regards,
George, NJ3H
