I don't know anything about asterisk, but I think caller id is a modem
option.  Have a look at your modem manual for the hayes AT command set,
or search on the internet. (just about every modem understands most of
these).

IIRC, once you give the modem the CID command, the incoming ring
notification changes from "RING" to "RING <number>".

For the asterisk side of things, once again, the internet is your
friend: http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?p=82

and I'm sure there are more...
