Hi Kevin,

The SAME card supporting UK callerid... it's a patch (not in CVS yet - just
needs to be signed off by the author)..

I've done a meteor perl script (tested on Chris' machine - the data
corruption appears to have
been due to his adsl filter btw ) that grabs the callerid and outputs to a
file which can then be
read using an AGI script... ok, not elegant but it works .. the advantage
of course is that you
can simply add xpl/xap support if you feel inclined.. (just stick it in the
dosomethingwithit() sub)

I don't know for sure but it could probably be used with mrhouse too...

The script is freely available and free to use for commercial and non
commercial stuff,
just let me know if you want it and I'll stick it on my site...

The script SHOULD be cross platform, but I have not had the chance to test
under Windows
as yet...
