Unfortunately the present x100p driver code will not decode the callerid for 2 
reasons

1) the UK protocol is different to the US system. 
I have downloaded the specs and coding it would not be too difficult.

2) in the US the callerid is sent between the first and second rings. In the 
UK the callerid is sent before the first ring. 
I have been unable to determine if we can get a zaptel event when a line 
reversal is received which happens before the UK callerid is sent. Without 
this function or continuously monitoring the line for the tones we don't know 
when to enter the callerid routine.  

Apart from the callerid the x100p works well in the UK but without callerid I 
can't implement lots of things I would like to do.
