It is not possible to relay the callerid info to 'normal' phones unles your
FXS card supports inserting UK caller id in the internal ringing sequence.
None do.

There was talk of using ADSI compatible analogue handsets, but they are few
and far between, BT Easicom 1000 being the only UK example I know of, but I
havn't got around to trying any of the ADSI stuff yet.

You can of course use VFD's, Slimp3's, TV osd, PC osd etc to display the
incoming call number tho.

Cheers, Des.
