I believe you're thinking of commercial caller number delivery, which bypasses 
the privacy/blocking that normal caller ID does.  Still, that seems pricy!  

Most modern modems will receive and report caller ID, so if you have a program 
like mgetty listening, and it's capable of logging, you can keep track.  I 
was just wondering if there were something more, like maybe an on-screen 
pop-up or something fun. 

I got rid of the second line when I took The Wolf's Den BBS offline, so if I 
set something up it would actually be useful to monitor my voice line.  SuSE 
has an 'answering machine' package, but it appears to be focused on IDSN.
