Dagwood - I would be interested in how you can get Caller ID info to pass to an analog phone on a Legend.

Well - I'm still waiting for DagwoodSystems to respond - since he was the one that mentioned that he had a way to do it. I left him a message on the post where he first mentioned the possibility.

Sorry everyone. I just got my blue suit and red cape out of the drycleaners and I've been out saving the world.
Alas, merlinman is right-on as usual. The trick is to terminate these lines into a VMI call group. And ttech is accurate as well; inband signalling refers to the DTMF sent by the switch, and is not true Caller ID.
However, an EX200 (or other such box) will convert inband DTMF to true Bellcore FSK Caller ID.
I had no idea that my passing remark would cause trouble, and I regret getting everyone riled up over what probably looks like an incredibly lame response.
I will say that I used this exact technique for a customer who wanted a virtual fax extension for each user. I did this by renumbering the adjunct of every "real" extension and give it coverage to a fax-modem group.
The fax calls were given coverage by Group #1, which was nothing more than a pool of analog stations. Each station in turn goes to a DTMF-FSK converter, then into a fax-modem card. Within the fax software, a DID to email conversion table is built. When a customer sends a fax to a user's associated "virtual fax DID", is is ultimately received in email as a PDF attachment.
I just thought it was kinda cool 'cause the whole thing was done on a Magix. I was told that it couldn't be done with a Magix because the fax-modems could only understand FSK Caller-ID.
Admittedly, I was initally unaware of the extra information that is sent along with the dialed digits. I discovered it after rigging my PC across one of the analog connections to the fax-modem and took a sample. I shot the sample up to which offers free DTMF decoding from a wave file.
Suffice it to say that it took another couple of visits AFTER I got the converter box to throw away the #03# that would always prefix the inband DTMF digits.
I have been accused of always finding the hardest way to do something (although I learn a lot), and this is a perfect example.

So you're not passing Caller ID, but a special purpose "CLID" to indicate what the caller dialed, not who the caller is.
Still could be useful in the future....
