[mythtv] Myth TV onscreen Caller ID

[Larry Matter]

I would also check this site out:

This app is for adding the caller ID feature to Tivo.  You can also just
use this software to popup caller ID on your computer, which is what I
used it for.  The trick is to get a reliable caller id modem that runs on
Linux (most are "winmodems").
