Post subject:  Caller ID using LinHES 7.4

Dos caller ID work in LinHES 7.4 or 8.1 ? When I check the boxes below and a call comes in the modem will answer the phone and start the handshake which sounds similar to a fax machine. Needless to say it should be listening and not answering the call. The Wiki on this subject is geared to LinHES 6 and version 0.76 not LinHES 7 and version 0.83-1 . The last posts on this subject are all ten years old. Dos anyone have any steps to get this working also dos anybody know what the script name that install this from the LinHES menus.

Yes caller id does work in LinHES and it's been working fine for me.
From what you described the modem is setup to auto-answer which is not what you want.

By default LinHES doesn't really use the ncid config file, instead it starts the program with all the option on the command line.

To use a config file name it /etc/ncid/ncidd-user.conf. Anything in that config file will be used and the LinHES menu settings ignored.
