I see your plugin as providing two pieces of functionality: getting caller ID info from the modem, and communicating that to the SqueezeBox in an effective way (good display primarily, and pausing and volume lowering if desired). Rather than re-implement those good player-facing ideas, I re-used yours and modified the means of obtaining the caller ID (it's still being pushed from an external process, so the architecture is essentially the same). BTW, by bigging up ncid I certainly don't mean to belittle your own ingenious mgetty solution -- and on a system which already has mgetty, it's a solution which requires minimal software installation.
