If the modem groks caller ID and vgetty groks the modem, you could do this with vgetty. You could also do it with asterisk and asterisk-supported hardware. Getting a single-port FXO card for asterisk is cheap (see the recent thread about cheap asterisk hardware) and will be sufficient to do what you want. If you already have the modem, then take a look at vgetty.
