If the phone modem INSIDE your computer has caller ID capabilities, then yes. Just run a standard telephone splitter out of your digital telephone adapter and run one line to your computers internal modem and the other spot uses your existing telephone cable. If your modem is not caller ID compatible, it will just make a noise but the ID will always come up no data. Internal Caller ID capable computer modems can be bought cheaply on eBay if needed. This software is FREE:

It can also SPEAK the name of the caller on your computer speakers if you so desire.
