Caller Line Identity

[FirstKnight]

Here is an interesting question. Is it possible to detect the caller line identity (number) of an incoming call in Visual Basic? If so how can this be accomplished.

First you need a modem that support the Caller ID protocol used by your telco. Then you can retrieve it by sending the correct AT Command set suppy by the modem.
