It actually came online at midnight of all things... a batch job I expect 
(totally automated system... so I'm even more annoyed they charge for it!)

Anyway, the caller ID patch is finished and works really well - it was easier 
than I thought... once you've decoded the V23 data the packet format is the 
same as the US Bell system.  I've got some more testing to do to make sure it 
doesn't cause asterisk (or the kernel) to explode then I'll stick it on my 
website for general consumption/laughter/criticism
