\_ Is there a way to set up Linux for caller I.D.?

0) get cid from your provider
1) get a cid + linux compatible modem
2a) get one of the many cid apps  (see sourceforge)
2b) roll your own with Device::Serial or direct ioctl calls
3) YMMV

For instance, I've got my roll-your-own program sending jabber
messages to me currently.  :-)
