CLID from 56k-flex modem?

Anyone know how I would go about getting a CLID (Callers telephone number)
from a normal 56k-flex modem (and if possible... without answering it using
the modem) ?

I answered my own question so thought I'd share incase anyone is interested.

Getting the number of someone calling you via a modem when you have CallerID
on the telephone line is quite easy as I understand it (still not tested as
Im waiting for CLID to activate on my phoneline).

Open a serial connection on the modems com-port & send the hayes command
"AT" (Attention)... to which you modem should respond "OK".... then leave
the connection idle.

The modem should send "RING" everytime it senses the telephone ring... if
you have CLID on your line then you should see "RING 0123456789" (where
0123456789) is the telephone number.

Hope this helps someone...
