>Caller ID units:
>The EM924547 is in both the OMNI CA290 and the Uniden Caller ID unit
>that are available in OZ. It is the FSK CLI decoder. The Data pin is the
>same as the Motorola MC145447.

>Now if any of this helps you to get the 84 going as a caller ID monitor
>great. It's all the info I have.
>There are two caller ID units on the market in kit form. These are to US
>standards however. One was from ITU Technologies (sadly, no longer
>available), and the other I seem to have lost the link, but I'm sure a
>search will pick it up.
