OK, as Iain answered, if your modem support it, u can read CID from it. Just connect to modem from minicom and RTFM modem's manual. The easyiest solution is to buy a specialized box (I bough it for ~10 EUR). Asterisk can log CID 4u, and/or forward incoming calls to a VoIP phone, but u'll need a special * compatible card, e.g. Digium X100P (obsolete/ sometimes still available on eBay) or another modem card based on MD3200 Cirrus Logic/Ambient chipset, intel 537PG or 537PU chipsets, but keep away from 537EP, which is unsupported. noro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
