Looks like it's possible to modify some of the old BT Caller Display
units with nothing more than about a fivers worth of parts all in. I'll
put it in the 'rainy day' project list.

If PSTN was more of an issue I'd go with the card you suggest - it's
just not a big enough deal to worry with it - but thanks. Really
appreciated.
