I know that there are different protocols agreed upon by different phone
companies. The American network uses a 300 baud data FSK modulated burst
between the first and second ring (or so I am told)

The Dutch system does not have Caller ID but internal phone company docs
are said to say that it will be a DTMF (touch-Tone) string BEFORE the first
ring. I wish I had more specifics......
