You can't capture the caller ID data from the DSL stream. While they use the same copper wire to enter your home, the DSL modem filters out the signals from the voice line traffic.

What you need is a caller ID capable modem.
You should be able to set up a log to collect the caller ID data from all incoming calls.

Our local provider also has a small app called Internet Connection Manager, (ICM), that displays this info on-screen, (as well as a list of choices on how to handle the call). . .
