If you had CID to start with, I'd expect it to work - eg. you wouldn't get it 
from the POTS line but if a VOIP call came in and the ATA186 retransmitted 
that in US format then a US handset would pick it up.

The CID specs look really simple... I'll definately have a go at implementing 
something like it.  Just need to find a spec sheet for the Intel chipset in 
the FX100/FX101 (to see if you somehow see the pulse that comes just before 
the ring - I always wondered why phones tended to blip a second before 
starting to ring these days.. now I know).
