Caller ID logger

I want a Caller ID device which remembers at least 100 calls and
displays the full information.

Looking around, I think there are fewer standalone CLID display
units than there used to be.

On the other hand the CLID function build into many phones seems
basic. For example some won't distinguish between "Number Not
Available" and "Number Withheld".

Do you know any CLID displays/phones I might consider?

This is for home use so I don't want to spend a fortune.

Sorry this is a bit vague....

I think your PC could do that - I remember there being some software
which would log the CLID's etc., but I think its function depended on
the modem chipset.

Supervoice used to do that with my old US Robotics External modem, but
I've not used it for years.

I use a BT 'email w/o a PC' thing called an Easicom 300 which I got
cheap (£15) from an O2 shop when they were dumping them.

Link of the original US Mailstation which is the same.

When the phone rings, I can tell whether it's a Pay Phone,
International, Withheld or someone whose details I've entered in the
unit's phone book. The flash memory only stores 50 calls though which
is, well not 100 :-(

There are not any left on eBay now, so a car boot sale or random shop on
the 'net might be your only hope if interested. There is also the
Amstrad emailer thing, I believe that has caller ID.

I think the software would only run under W98 ..

Time waits for no man...

XP/VISTA/WIN 7 etc - but I'm not sure it's the most graceful solution.

That said, this search threw up some possibles:
