Does anyone know of caller id solutions that work with Linux?
Well, FWIW I run a pretty hacked-up solution. I'm in the Netherlands,

Does the Pre-N multi-antenna, directionality gain magic also function
for 802.11b connections, or is it just a G thing?
Not disputing, just curious.

You are right, offcourse. Extra security measure is to limit access to your
network to certain MAC-addresses only (your own hardware). Most wireless
access points have this feature.

Nope - not pausing during playback. Some albums play fine, some don't,
no difference in the way the discs were ripped. All are .wav format,

So that's a 2.4GHz signal? If it was an RF circuit, I'd say maybe one
of the traces is acting as a nice 2.4GHz
What you're hearing is the envelope of the signal. Of course 2.4G is
a ways outside our hearing range. :)
