When a call comes in (reading this through a HyperTerminal) it rings and the name field will come in fine, the number field comes in with "OUT OF AREA" and then a field comes with DDN=2045551212 (for example). The issue is if you have software that is trying to read the caller id it needs to be in the number field. I think I have the right modem driver (inf file dated May 1, 2005).
Thanks in advance for any direction you could give me.
Thanks,
Bryan
That modem has an Agere chipset. I think you should try a more recent driver. I believe the current one is 2.1.84.0 (November 2007). The driver .INF files allow the modem responses to be properly interpreted. If you can't find a recent version on Hiro's site, try another vendor's site. Encore USA also makes modems with the Agere chipset. After installing the driver you will want to add "AT+VCID=1" as an advanced setup string for the modem (via control panel phone & modem options applet).
This feature lets you know who is calling
without looking at the display.
To use this feature, you must:
- subscribe to a Caller ID service of
your service provider/telephone
company.
- turn this feature on (page 24).
When caller information is received, the
handsets and base unit announce the
caller's name or phone number received
from your service provider/telephone
company following every ring.
The unit announces in English only.
L Name pronunciation may vary. This
feature may not pronounce all names
correctly.
L Caller ID service has a limit of how
many characters can be displayed. If
the caller's name is too long, the
handset may not be able to display or
announce the entire name.
L The announcement is heard at the
same level as the ringer volume (page
16, 23).
L If you turn on the answering system
and set the number of rings "2
rings" (page 36), the unit does not
announce the caller information. If
"Toll saver" is selected and there
is a new message, the unit does not
announce the caller information.
If this does not fix your problem, contact your authorized Service Center.*

Actually the inf I used was dated 2006 and it is the same as the file I just downloaded from Hiro's website.
