| 6 | 2 | jzigmyth | In order to get your TV to display caller ID info while watching MythTV, you need to install NCID (network caller ID). NCID consists of the ncid server daemon (ncidd) and the ncid client program (ncid). The modem connects to the server and it makes the caller ID info available to all the clients on the network. |

| 10 | 3 | jzigmyth | *1) Caller ID capable modem.* This can be an external serial modem, external USB modem or internal modem, but it must have caller ID capabilities. USB and internal modems may need other drivers installed to work. NCID can also get Caller ID info from a voip system or a YAC server. |

| 19 | 2 | jzigmyth | |
| 20 | 2 | jzigmyth | install make (didn't come with R6.02) |
| 21 | 2 | jzigmyth | get NCID. Latest version as of 4-3-10 is 0.76 |
| 22 | 2 | jzigmyth | make package |
| 23 | 2 | jzigmyth | make package-install |
| 24 | 2 | jzigmyth | edit the configuration files for ncidd and ncid |
| 25 | 2 | jzigmyth | install ncidd as a service |
| 26 | 1 | install ncid as a service |

| 31 | 3 | jzigmyth | At the time of this writing, LinHES does not have the make utilty installed by default, so we start by installing make. |

| 33 | 3 | jzigmyth | All as root: |

| 43 | 8 | jzigmyth | cd /root |
| 44 | 8 | jzigmyth | mkdir ncidsrc |
| 45 | 8 | jzigmyth | cd ncidsrc |

| 54 | 8 | jzigmyth | cd ncid |
| 55 | 8 | jzigmyth | make package |

| 61 | 8 | jzigmyth | Now edit the ncidd daemon config file to tell ncidd where your modem lives. Mine is connected to ttyS1 (COM2) because I have a serial port IR receiver connected to to ttyS0 (COM1). |
| 62 | 7 | jzigmyth | |
| 63 | 1 | edit /etc/ncid/ncidd.conf and change: |
