Actually, you can. There are some interesting commercial services now that
will forge CallerID for you on a call-by-call basis. I haven't investigated
the details, but it's just a digital signal sent between the first few rings
of the telephone.
The raido talk shows are having a blast with this.
And it is worth noting that virtually nobody except bill collectors and
scam artists (I think talk shows that want to fake out famous people fall
under the last) think Caller-ID forging is a _GOOD_ thing. Count
on it being made illegal and/or technically impossible _very soon_.
