I just dug out an old modem. I want to get the caller id working. As
near as I can tell it is a Diamond SUP2260 XP561 PCI 56k Modem Card
The only Google hits I get don't really show the cards specs.
This web site says..........

When I try
AT+VCID=1 I get OK
If the modem gives an OK, shouldn't it support Caller ID?
No. Maybe in the way of the latest and greatest copper protocols, but
as far as I'm aware they're aren't any;- just didn't come by way in a
deck of cards for that "jacked" vintage transmission. You possibly
could go roundabout by way of a 3K overhead I'm seeing over sustained
transmissions via a dedicated internet telephone site;- of course,
that's 125K of unused bandwidth for a high-speed connect at a x20
factor over the datapump in a 56K modem, somewhat within an unlikely
scenario at best, all things considered;- when I was doing it on the
first telephony sites, people would refer to me as Spotty, the "ship-
to-shore" guy that's calling. Still, there may advantages if you can
establish a foothold within prerequisites for an actual account. With
which, for a very bare modicum I'm paying, I believe in the
neighborhood of $2.99/US for unlimited call time coverage over US/
CANADA, you'll have access to join the National hotline registry of
complaints against unsolicited advertisers, plus call records of times
entailing where and how attempts to reach you;- once combined to
screening cellular agreements, interesting potentials unfold, for a
minimum purchase order over the longest sustainable carry-forward on
minutes contained. As the internet telephony plan may permit call-
forwarding, so long as caller ID is engaged and recorded, it's
effectively then serving as an answering service, free, furthermore,
only so long as message message retrieval or a call-back is not
initiated at the cellular connect, as well optionally turning off text-
ing features. From personal experience as a "gold" member, I'm able
to carry time forward, at within and up until a year's grace, for as
low as a $10US minimum token contribution;- averaged within a monthly
framework, that's under a dollar a month for unlimited, English
continental intercourse, with a perfunctory record assignment on name-
bases to caller-IDs -- I advise people voluntarily to assign to
themselves, so in order to avoid being reported to the National
Government for potential and unlawful solicitation practises -- that
serves for informing me when contact attempts are initiated.
Unrecognized Caller-ID's, should they nevertheless and likely be
present, simply are routed over to the many national phone service
listings and crossreferences, whereupon I'm able to pinpoint and
further process "undesirables" over either or both cellular and
internet routing facilities, as Caller ID'd numbers to receive a
perfunctorily message recording effectively not again to attempt to
contact me.
Hope that helps.
