CALLID() (STRING)
Function
Access caller ID information returned from caller ID compatible modems.
Syntax
CALLID() No arguments are required
Return Type & Value
STRING
Returns a string with caller ID information captured from
a caller ID compatible modem.
Remarks
Some areas of the country have an optional service available which will
send, to your modem (other other telephone device), the phone number
and/or name of the person calling you. This service is known as 'Caller
ID'. Some modems are starting to support it directly by capturing the
information and sending it to you between the first and second rings.
It can be very helpful in determining who is calling (or abusing) your
BBS or for statistical purposes. This function will return the
information if your modem supports it.
Examples
FAPPEND 1,"CID.LOG",O_WR,S_DW
FPUTLN 1,LEFT(U_NAME(),30)+CALLID()
FCLOSE 1
