Exactly the idea I'd had to get UK CLID into *.... except rather than
using a modem, i'm using a BT CD-50 unit which i'm about to hack to
provide CLID output in RS232 format. See
http://www.photon.dyndns.org/projects/btcd50conversion/ for more
information. The CD50 is avaliable on Ebay for about a fiver (I paid
about 8 quid incl. P&P for mine).

I was thinking of using AGI for this, as you suggest. Should be nice and
simple to knock up a perl script to do it. I'll try and find some time
over the weekend to knock up a script.

If you don't hear from me on monday, feel free to drop me an email and
harass me.. I have poor planning/time management skills ;)
