This is usually different for each modem manufacturer and even modem
type.  You will have to get the manual for your particular modem
either off the web or in hardcopy to figure this out.

I have my US Robotics Courrier external 56K V.everything modem doing
caller ID in a script that take the phone number and caller's name and
passes it thru a speech synthesizer so my sound board speaks the name
and number thru my speakers.  That way, I do not have to look at the
screen to know who is calling.
