Network Caller ID (original) (raw)

Network Caller ID (NCID) is an open-source client/server network Caller ID (CID) package. NCID consists of a server called ncidd (short for NCID daemon), a universal client called ncid, and multiple client output modules and gateways. The server, ncidd, monitors either a modem, device or gateway for the CID data. The data is collected and sent, via TCP, to one or more connected clients. NCID supports messages. Clients can send a one line message to all connected clients. The client can also be used to push CID to other computers and devices with output modules.
