Hmmm. As I recall, Caller ID and Caller Number are emmited in 1200 b.p.s. Frequency Shift Keyed tone during idle intervals between burts of Ringing power. Maybe it's 2400 b.p.s. Don't recall the audio carrier frequency but it may be same as used on Bell 202 type modems. If so, then an external modem and a Model T can do the job if the modem is modified to "connect" without emitting a carrier BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND RINGS. Hayes compatible modems won't do this due to legal restrictions. Guess I best look up the technical details and get back to you.
