- Once you have caller ID turned on, you need to set your software to answer on
- second ring. The caller ID is sent after the first ring before the second. Some
- areas have a caller ID that is in a special format (you might need software to
- decipher) other don't. Your modem would show the caller ID info in the
- Terminal Window.
