[AccessD] CallerID code

Caller ID works by transferring a couple of 80 byte records (depending 
on the phone company)
between the first and second ring. There are about 3 or 4 standards as 
to what is transmitted.
It does get messy, for example on my phone I live in a place where there 
was a recent area code
split into Vancouver getting it's own area code and the rest of the 
province another.
So you may get an incoming call indicated as  555-1212 from my local 
area code but to redial
it has to be dialed 1-250-555-1212, you may have to sort this out as to 
what is local or long distance.
