    Just installed 0.61 here, and I am a bit stuck. ncidd -Dv yields:

    Configured to send 'cidlog' to clients.
    Configured to send 'cidinfo' to clients.
    Processed config file: /usr/local/etc/ncid/ncidd.conf

    RING

    If I call myself I get a number (e.g. from my cell to my fixnet), but not here. Ideas ?

      I had the same problem initialy with my U.S.Robotics USR5631 56K Faxmodem.
      Then after I looked in the AT commands for it I saw the +GCI=<country_code> command.
      I used AT+GCI? to see what the default value was.

      When I changed it from the default value +GCI=F6 (TBR-21) to +GCI=A5 (sweden for me)
      it worked for me with this:
      AT+GCI=A5
      AT+VCID=1

      URL to the AT command for this modem:

      The results you posted are typical of a modem that indicates it will do CID, but does not. The CID information is passed between the first and second ring. You modem is outputing the RING indicator but not the Caller ID information. You could try some other initialization strings indicated in the config file or the text file in the doc directory, but it's a long shot. You can also consider getting the NetCallerID box discussed here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1228079&forum_id=275236
