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:

(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.)
