[VoIP] Bell 103 modem emulation in Asterisk?

Max,

Does * support analog Caller ID demodulation?  CID demod is the same as 
the receive channel of a 202 modem (1200 BPS FSK half duplex).  If * 
handles this, revamping it to 103 frequencies ought not be too 
difficult.  The modulation side ought to be easier.
