Once you get CID working correctly it will start showing up in your e-mail 
notification.

So, set up QualifyCID in etc/config (see 'man cid'), define CIDName and 
CIDNumber in etc/config.<devid>, set RingsBeforeAnswer to no less than 2.

"Turn on" CID reception in your modem (i.e., set ModemRestCmds to 
AT#CID=1) and make sure your phone line is getting CID information.

That's it.  Then you should get CIDName and CIDNumber in your e-mail 
notification.
