A good friend of mine has Asterisk send a Jabber message with the
CallerID information of each incoming call.  That way, he can be at work
and see who is calling his home line.  That might be a quick and easy
way to do what you're looking for.  Otherwise, you're either using the
dialplan to push the information to a relational database (using
something like func_odbc), or using the Asterisk Manager Interface to
poll for the data.
