Modem with Caller ID?

I don't know if this exist but is there a modem that has caller ID on it that will display the # calling on my screen? And then be able to cancel the call if its a unknown or private number? or maybe have it do it automatically? I would also like it to be a USB modem. I don't need the kind that does it while I'm online because I am on a cable connection.
 
To each his own . . . I really can't see why anyone would want incoming phone calls on a computer. I have Caller ID (from the phone company) and my phone sits right on my desk along with the CID box. I answer or don't answer and let the answering machine take all the "phonic" spam. That works great and doesn't screw up my computer by allowing extraneous garbage into it.

As for a USB modem - never found one yet that worked worth a darn. 🙂

But - yes, you can have CID with a modem provided you subscribe to that service from your telcom.
