does your modem handle caller-id? not many do. I used a special made hardware with caller-id and digit decoding to allow access if the correct data modem was calling.

I'd like to be able to have the computer at home pick up when I call home from work. Otherwise, the answering machine will pick up in 4 rings. Some of us are too poor (or too cheap) to get dsl.
