I really the tummy.com cid server: http://www.tummy.com/Software/cid I use this to read CallerID info from the modem I have connected to my linux box. It takes this and uses the Perl Net::AIM module to send an AOL Instant Message to me when people call my house. I believe I stole most of the source from the example perl script that came with the aim module. It's available at: http://www.blackavar.com/handy/cid_im_bot (Feel free to improve upon this if you want, I haven't touched the code in over a year and I'm sure it's not the best in the world.)
