Thanks for the pointer!  I'll try to track one down.

Yeah, I got all excited when I saw their SUSE files for download.

I'm as surprised as you.  The CallerID works just fine.  I'm using it
on Lucent i2021 ISDN phones now.  They have parking,
forwarding/deflection, Caller-ID w/ Name, etc.  It's a complete
package.

It just seems like a much better fit for a home office Asterisk than a
POTS line with all the slow & ambiguous signalling.  I'm not giving up
yet.
