asterisk users - Sep 2003 - UK Caller ID and X100p

Hi
I really need caller id to work in the UK, I understand that the X100p 
uses a US chipset,two questions
1) is that a product that converts UK to US caller id in line

or

2) would it be possible to have modem that supports CID  in parallel 
with the line and the x100p.The modem reads the line and reports the 
cid  to asterisk

Just thinking outloud

Not really the answer you were looking for, but if you get a line from a
non-BT supplier (e.g. NTL or Telewest) you are quite likely to find that CLI
works.

Hi,

.. or if it is still FSK based, you can try to modify the callerid.c file
and recompile *  in order to work with your provider.
See the list archive for details.
