As some of you knows, DIAX has a "CallMe' feature in the Help 
menu, in order to get voice messages from the users regarding bugs,
requested features, etc.
I get around 5 messages/day with a length between 1s and 30s
without even say something. The CallerID is the one set in the DIAX 
config page, which is kept default by the majority of the callers.
In this situation I'm not even able to know who calls nor to get some 
feedbacks.

The majority of the callers left interesting messages and even set 
the callerID to something useful, like a PSTN/FWD/IAXTEL 
phone number or even an e-mail address, but they are still a few 
during the day with 'empty' calls.

Best regards,
Dan
