- Thanks, but like i said, my modem supports it and i'm not asking about modem
- strings. You must have an LCD display or something. I don't have lcd (and
- most modems don't). So, the question is:
-
- Since my modem support it and i know right modem strings, under what
- conditions will i see the caller's number (and where?). Do i have to be in a
- "Windows Terminal" type of mode? Obviously, if i'm in a trumpet newsreader
- and a call comes in, i'm not going to see a caller-ID phone number.
