how can i tell if a modem is able to detect 'caller id' information?

mosts of the merchants let us know that they are 'call waiting' compatable....

but i can't tell if they will work with 'caller id'

i suspect it is tied to the v.90 or v92.....

i realize this may not be an overclockers issue but i have found this is probably 'table scrapes' for an overclocker

thanks for your time!!! dms
 
I'm not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to a question like this, so I did a search on Google for caller ID compatible modems, and you know what, I'm still confused! :eh?:

thanks for the effort

thanks for your effort!! it seems strange that the caller id spec would be a selling point? but i guess not or else most are not capable of using caller id info.... i found a program that will open outlook and a contact when the caller id info matches and it will create a new entry when it is new info!! seems like a time saver and handy.....

again thanks {sharpest crayon in the box i have available (-: } for your time

I'll get the answer one way or another, in all due time.
I've found all sorts of software that will accomplish the goal, but the only way I know for absolute sure, at this point, is for the modem manufacturer to outright say that the modem would support Caller ID.

I'm still working on it, I want to know myself, since Google let me down on this subject.

I can tell you that I use a V.90 and I have caller id with it. Don't laugh-It's a winmodem, but it works good. I'm reasonably sure that V.90 and V.92 are the only supporters, but not positive.
 
I haven't forgot this question. I still have no viable answer except what I've already posted. Still looking.
