CALLER ID:

Check out the linmodem how-to on the Linux documentation page, tldp.org
I think all your questions about your modem will be answered there. If
memory serves me correctly, there are 2 how-to's there, linmodem and
winmodem. You may need to read both of them to figure everything out.

Good luck!
