-
- not the low-end ones, because it costs them an extra relay. Once
- the manufacturers build it in, I am sure they would not forget to say so
- on the box.
-
- Do not forget, you need to have a software capable of interpretting the
- CID information and enabling it (it is disabled by default). CID is
- enabled on the modem by AT#CID=1 or AT#CID=2. The first format is in a
- tag format while the second is unformatted in HEX. The software must be
- capable of interpretting either format.
-
- alternatively, you can use terminal emulation and have it displayed on
- the screen in ASCII just like BBS prompts.
