Some UK cable companies (eg NTL or Telewest) use bellcore (US) caller id 
in certain areas but they use BT standard in others. The only way to be 
certain to get caller id with * at the moment is to use an ISDN line 
(this will require an ISDN line card, not the x101p). The new FXO 
(external line) ports (available "soon")  for the TDM400P will be 
_capable_ of receiving BT's caller id but whether support for it gets 
added into the driver is a different matter.
