About NCID

The NCID (Network Caller ID) project is Caller ID (CID) distributed over a network. The project contains the NCID package and several optional client packages. Each package is described at the main NCID web site. A non-inclusive list of 3rd party addons is also available at the main web site.

Sampling of Available Packages:

• NCID - contains the server, gateways, and a client with output modules
• LCDncid - a client that uses LCDproc to display Caller ID on a LCD display
• NCID Android - a client and gateway combination for Android devices
• NCIDdisplay - a build-it-yourself hardware and software client that displays on large LED modules
• NCIDpop - a popup client for Windows, Mac, and Linux

For the historically curious, the very first 0.5 version was released May 31, 2001 with a file name of tivocid-0.5.tar.gz.

Support for other operating systems besides the TiVo was eventually added so the project name changed from "TiVo CID" to the cross-platform name of "NCID." The first official version under the new project name was released July 16, 2002 with a file name of ncid-0.5.tar.gz.

SourceForge hosts the NCID versions starting with 0.12 released on May 16, 2003.
