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 to 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 to 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 t 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 to try before giving up completely:
Make sure the international setting in the Ham control
panel
is set to 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 to 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
