1) Long distance and Caller ID How well does Caller ID work with incoming long distance calls? I would imagine that it would depend on how much information the carrier passes to the local service provider, which probably varies between carriers? 2) Caller ID on DID lines Is this possible?

It doesn't. [Inasmuch as "long distance" is defined as inter-LATA.] None of the CLASS service package, of which Caller ID is one service, will work in any way with inter-LATA calls. However, some certain 800 calls will result in the billing number (which, in 99% of residential applications, is the same as the calling number) being delivered to the called party. AT&T offers billing number delivery (a.k.a. ANI delivery) over an ISDN BRI from their 4ESS to a customer's PBX; MCI is shortly going to begin delivery of billing number (ANI) via MF signaling to customers. Both of these are, so far as I know, offered only in conjunction with 800 service.
