Don't know. AIUI the primary difference between BT and Bell caller id standards is that BT requires: - Hardware to detect line reversal prior to first ring indicating imminent arrival of the CID data - And then to detect FFSK CID data burst in the on-hook state prior to first ring In contrast to the Bell standard which sends FFSK burst between first and second ring in the on-hook state. > Secondly, My US Robotics Voice modem does get UK CLI, so > could I get UK > CLI and the same functionality as the x100p using a USR Modem with *? > > Has anyone done this? Not quite this way, but yes. I use a Pegasus Meteor to achieve the same end result. See www.crucible-technologies.co.uk/caller-display.asp Although it is expensive, it is completely reliable - anecdotal evidence suggests that USR modems don't perform consistently with BT CID. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you could also consider modifying caller display units - they can be had for less than a fiver at The Link or similar, and just require the addition of a serial driver chip to interface them to a PC. The serial data output from these units is virtually identical to the meteor and is well documented (since it's specified and documented as part of the BT standard). > As an aside, has anyone experienced or solved the problem > with the x100p > producing a loop condition on the PSTN line (it really mucks > up my ADSL > connection something horrid when it is connected). > I think it is due to an impedance mismatch between the card and the > network, but have no way of testing these things.

It is creating a 36 K Ohm Loop condition" I have an X100P on an ADSL enabled line and it works fine, with no noticeable signal loss reported on the router - but my line is close to the exchange in an urban environment.
