	If they make threats, be sure to have them on tape, then
	turn copies over to police.  If they are motivated to do
	so, they can obtain warrants and the phone company will
	produce the full switch records, which will reveal the
	ANI (Automatic Number Identification) and who the caller
	is, including location, etc.  But that will happen only
	if the police feel a crime has been committed.  Many of
	these telephone anii are very good at dancing on the
	ragged edges of legality.
