Caller id modems are often found used quite cheap on ebay and at thrift stores. I am using a callerid modem for the caller id function myself. I had one die on me a while back and I replaced it with one I found on ebay for less than $10. (Unfortunately the one I am currently using is starting to flake out. I may have to think about upgrading again. Maybe to a voip box I now have but haven't put to use yet.) In other words if this doesn't work out of the box then I wouldn't invest a lot of time trying to make it work. (Unless you enjoy it and want to.) For just a few bucks you could get something that would work immediately. Bob P.S. Usually with the Hayes command set "AT#CID=1" turns on the caller id function.
