With regard t modems that work, I had a hayes
modem working, as I posted t the group, and it worked very well as I
recall,
but I had to hack drivers t gether.. Sadly, the machine with the driver
died due
to a faulty IBM 75 GXP drive (Don't get me started on that one) so I'm
going to
have to hack the driver t gether again, which I will attempt t do
today.
This driver is under win2k, and is for hayes
accura
modems, model number 5670..
As for the modems availability Hayes tech
support
say...
<<SNIP>>
We have dropped CID with the Accura range. All we now have is the
Optima
Business modem, PN 08-03157. This unit should be around for a
while as
it
has just had a revision made.
<<SNIP>>
OLITEC also have callerid capable modems on
the
way, any v.92 model will support uk caller id. Had this confirmed by OLITEC
support people a couple of weeks ago. No set date on
availability.
Hope this helps..

ID(again)
Justin,
I never really expected
these
to work with BT's CID as it's so different to Bellcore/CCA version's
but as I needed a modem anyway I bought one of the Ambient
based ones along with another Connexant based one t try for a friend. They
both work with Homeseer, but I have found the Connexant one more reliable
when
dialling in with my mobile. The echo is worse and seems t upset the
Ambient
modem when this is used.
I'll be interested in a group buy on Meteors if anyone else
wants one.

I'm sorry to hear that as it was me who started the whole
£15
caller id
modem thing.
As I
have said previously I'm with NTL but I didn't think caller id stuff
was that different.
A few things t
try before giving up completely:
Make sure the international setting in the Ham control
panel
is set t USA.
Use a terminal program to check
caller
id before trying anything fancy (e.g
HomeSeer
Phone).
The modem has to be initialised with
at+vcid=1
the response should be "ok"
if not it's not the
same
modem.
I hope the above helps, if not it looks like the Meteor
would
be your best
bet, in fact I wouldn't mind one
myself
to play around as I like the
advanced features on
this
unit.
There seems t be a few people on this list
who
want one of these. I wonder
if there would be any
mileage in a group buy?
Justin
