I installed my AMR modem, and downloaded drivers from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/ I can now start minicom and send it commands. It looks like it is working perfectly as I can get a dial tone, etc from it. I send it a AT#CID=1 and it goes OK, but when I call the number all minicom puts out is: RING RING RING with nothing else. Apparently some kind of information should be shown relating to the caller ID. I can startup cidbcast and mythudprelay fine, but they just sit their also when the phone rings. I know the modem supports caller id, I have the service heh, what could be wrong here?

Well, somebody has to ask the stupid question.  Do you have caller id 
service on your phone?

Otherwise, my next thought is a bad modem...
