- First you return the modem and buy one with Caller-ID support,
- then you use the command for that modem to turn on CID (usually #CID=1).
- Unfortunatly the USR Sportster does NOT support Caller-ID detection. The
- Sportster Vi and the Courier do, as do many modems from many other
- manufactuers.
