Well, CID is not mentioned in the Documentation, but I have bought this
modem long before the German Telekom tought about implemeting CID in
analog lines.
And somewhere I heard that the German Telekom-implementation auf CID
doesn not follow te international standard.

Well, I could try that, but the company I bought this modem from is
definitely not known fo its customer-friendly behaviour. (and they evend
didn't build the modem themselves, and I have no idea from whom this
modem is)

I had hoped that there is some at+... command I can send to the modem
and see if it supports CID ...
