If you have a TDM/FXO then you'll need the latest CVS code.  If you
have a X100P then you'll need any CVS (the latest is usually a good
choice) and some patches.  I have the X100P running with today's CVS
version and with UK (BT) Caller*ID support.

There's no need to answer before dialling, btw.  The SIP phone's
answer will filter through the system.

Aside from that, the (UK) Caller*ID will only be available if you have
one of the setups described above (TDM with latest CVS code or X100P
with patches).

That will happen once you're set up, yes.
