I already do what the script above does and then some.
Cool. Would you like to share? :) No, seriously, I'd be interested.

Sure. Like I said, nothing sophisticated, but gets the job done for me. You will need a Syslogger, like Kiwi, that can launch an executable based on a trigger. I am looking for:
Code:
[SLIC] CID to deliver:
to trigger the executable. You will need to point your Obi to send Syslog data to whatever PC you installed your syslog server on. If you intend to use Growl as well, you will need to enable in the INI file and Growl will need to be on the same PC as your syslog server. The Autoit will self register with Growl on first use. Look in the AU3 source file for more info.
Update: No longer need Syslog server. Binrary updated. See this post: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5730.0
Have fun...

Having CNAM on the handset will prevent me from being glued to the TV, Tablet or PC just to see who's calling. ;D

I would also love to be able to use the Speed Dial to show CNAM on the phone. The Obi already seems to be able to do that when you use your Obi **9 speed dial Number. Why not
If you want to limit yourself to a relatively small list of names, as implied by your reference to the speed dial, a workaround which works for me is to memorize the name when there is an incoming call, or manually input the name in handset Phonebook. I think most cordless phones have that ability. The result is any incoming call that is in the Phonebook will show a Name which is similar to populating a speed dial slot in the OBi. This requires a little be of extra effort. At least you won't strain your eyes on the HD 52 in TV when the CID come in. :D

Memorizing is way to much trouble for me. :-) Would rather the Obi do the hard work for me. It would save me from having to get new cordless phones. My Uniden phones don't seem to like the leading 1 added to the CID and so trying to add the name/number to it's directories doesn't work. Hopefully the Obi gods hear us. ;D
