Scott, what format are you expecting for the the CallerID data? I can do the following with HyperTerminal.
AT&F#CID=1
OK
RING
DATE = 0620
TIME = 1311
NAME = ATLANTA, GA
NMBR = 678XXXXXXX
RING
But I only get the "Time of last Call" and "Number of Rings" in HB.
Thanks for the help
CallerID problem
It looks in the response data for: NAME = and NMBR =. If it finds them both, it parses out the data after the '=' and sends the data to the ModemPhoneStatus Device.
In looking at the code, the only thing that I can think of is that the line terminator from your modem is different from what I am expecting. I'll send you a new version with some additional tracing that may shed some light on the problem.

I ran across this article when I was looking into Caller ID. Sounds like he had a similar problem.

"I was having problems dealing with
the returns and line feeds so I deleted
them from the Buffer"
On one of my modems I had to change the init string to
+VCID=1
Have you thought any more about using TAPI? It might
eliminate some of these issues.
Thanks

I've emailed you an updated Plugin with some additional tracing (warning messages) and a possible fix. I'm guessing that it is the line feeds as well (that is the fix I added).
I have indeed considered tapi. I was looking at using it for some advanced call processing logic that I was going to add to the Modem Phone Status plugin. However, it seems that although tapi does solve some problems, it creates some of its own. I've read that except for simple applications, people end up discarding tapi and doing it the hard way because they have full control over the data. I still haven't decided, since I've put that project on the back burner.
