Frank, don't know if my experience will help, but I couldn't get caller ID on my incoming PSTN calls on my Panasonic cordless phones, but my setup was maybe a bit unusual.  The good news is I fixed it.

My cordless phones/base are two line capable and initially I connected the PSTN line to line 1 of my cordless base station and then took the phone out of the Obi110 and sent that to line 2 of my cordless base station.  My thought was I can answer/dial line one for my PSTN and answer/dial line 2 for google voice.

This actually all worked, except, incoming calls on PSTN no longer displayed caller ID.  If I simply disconnected the Obi110 phone out from my Panasonic cordless base, caller ID then worked again on PSTN.  Very strange, and couldn't figure out a solution in that config.

I then decided to try hooking it up the way they expect it to be, that is, PSTN into line in on Obi110, and phone out from Obi110 into line 1 on my cordless base station (line 2 was then unused).  In this config the Obi110 directs incoming Google Voice or PSTN calls to my line 1 on cordless phones.  By default I have SIP1 for outbound so right now I'm making outbound calls on Google Voice.  I could change that if I want.  If I want to do outbound on PSTN, I think I can do **3 or similar.

Hope that helps.

One more update... just tried something I hadn't considered before... I put the Obi phone out into line 1, and the PSTN into line 2, and caller ID from inbound PSTN calls do appear.
