I have a USR modem too but it's a brick unfortunately...  Pity as it was 
a nice modem... the right model too so it might have worked.

I wonder what it would take to get the zaptel drivers to pick up CID (or 
even a cheap conexxant modem or something like that) - these soft modems 
are pretty dumb so I'd expect there to be some scope for frobbing them 
to do new stuff.
