Caller ID with Night Ring

[winkmartindale]

Analog lines need 1 1/2 rings to wait for caller ID info.

I have night ring set up to answer calls at night immediately, so i am missing the caller ID. But I heve a call accounting system and want to get the caller ID.

Any way around this? some way to make the system answer in 2 rings instead of immediatly. The auto attendant picks up after 4 rings during the day.

Thanks

you could try to do the following:
set an unused phone to forward to voicemail on 2 rings(no mailbox for the phone)
remove the VM port from night services and put the unused phone in instead.

the night services should send the call immediately to the alternate phone which will wait 2 rings to go to vm.

good luck
