Re: Re: UK Modems with Caller ID

["Jon Payne" <jgpayne@xxxxxxx>]

I'll try and find the info at home tonight... basically you just tap
the
serial data off the IC (4209 or 4202 ?), it's at 1200baud, and bung it into
an
optoisolator and then into a MAX232. It's not very neat because the
Caller
Display unit takes batteries and then the opto-isolator/MAX232 needs power
too
(although I guess you could 'steal' it from the serial port - I use a
5v
supply taken from my TINI). I would imagine you could do without the
MAX232.
Maybe it would be possible to isolate the caller display box with a
transformer and then you wouldn't need the batteries... hmmm... I might
try
that.

My plan (of a year ago, and still not done!) is to have it the TINI
flash
lights etc when certain people call... and to keep a log.
