I have a friend with two phone lines (Bell Canada) -- both with CID, both 
plugged in to their own X101P card.  One line gets CID just fine, the other 
has problems (1 in 6 calls have CID come through for *).  A regular old 
phone in either picks up CID every time.

Swap the lines so that they're going into the other X101P; problem stays 
with line.  Change cabling up to demarc, no change in problem.

The only thing I can come up with is that the FSK softmodem in * is a little 
too strict, and the one line is a little too loose.  :-)
