	Configuring ISDN Caller ID Callback
		Caller ID screening requires a local switch that is capable of delivering the caller ID to the router or access server.
		ISDN caller ID callback allows the initial incoming call from the client to the server to be rejected on the basis of the caller ID message contained in the ISDN setup message, and it allows a callback to be initiated to the calling destination.
		ISDN caller ID callback allows great flexibility for you to define which calls to accept, which to deny, and which calls to reject initially but for which the router should initiate callback.

	Caller ID - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, Caller ID information is sent to the called party by the telephone switch as a analog data stream (similar to data passed between two modems), between the first and second ring, while the telephone unit is still on hook.
		Caller ID can falsely report when the caller is using a discount or travel calling program or an internet phone (such as Vonage), because those systems use intermediate telephone numbers in the country being called.
		Calling ID is the identification of whom you are calling, or connecting to, as opposed to caller ID identifying who calls you.

	Frequently Asked Questions About Caller ID
		Since the Caller ID signal is only generated at the called party's exchange, and the caller's line is only connected after the called party has answered the line, it should be impossible to fake the Caller ID data without access to the called party's line or exchange.
		Caller ID is written into the ISDN standards (see here for an introduction to ISDN), but only a handful of TAs send it to their POTS ports, allowing you to plug in a box directly.
		Caller ID is passed to the analogue ports of the Home Highway box, but apparently not to the digital ones, and if you want it on both analogue lines you will have to pay for it twice!

	Caller ID
		It was the integration of telephone, Caller ID and computer system that allowed all this, bringing up my account details on her screen within a few seconds of her telephone ringing, before even picking up the phone to talk to me. 20 years later, even my own company's systems cannot achieve this.

	Caller ID and My Privacy
		The Caller ID device also captures the number in its memory for display at a later time.

		Consumer advocates are concerned that Caller ID could be used to discriminate against consumers with a practice called "redlining." For example, a pizza delivery company or taxi service might avoid serving high- crime areas.

	VoIP hacks gut Caller I.D.
		This arrangement relies on telephone equipment at both ends of the call being trusted: the phone switch providing you with dial tone promises not to lie about your number to other switches, and the switch on the receiving end promises not to reveal your number if you've asked that it be blocked.
		As described by Lucky, who's scheduled to give a talk on the subject at the DefCon hacker convention later this month, much Caller I.D. chicanery can be accomplished by taking advantage of implementation quirks in Voice over IP networks that try, but fail, to implement Caller I.D. properly.
		Privacy advocates, who had reservations about Caller I.D. when it was introduced in the 90s, aren't happy that it's becoming easier to subvert.
