Meanwhile I've discovered a gadget for sale from ELV which
is supposed to display and store the caller's phone number.
It's ment for non-ISDN lines, so the service ought to be
available from Telecom.

I tried to make my ZyXEL identify a call from an ISDN number
but it didn't work. Perhaps somebody else has time to try it,
too. Most probably we need some new firmware from ZyXEL if
it is possible at all.

Is there still someone from ZyXEL reading this list?
