There was a similar problem in the Max TNT awhile back..  What was
happening was that if there was caller id info available it was logged.
Then if there was no caller id info available, it would log the last
caller on that (in this case) modem.  So basically it was not clearing out
the caller id info, and it was re-using the info that happened to be in
there when the next call came in without caller id info available.

This was fixed in the TNT at about code level 2.1.9, so maybe the code is
similar enough that the bug is still present in your software tree.

Unfortunately, I lost the TR number for this.  You should probably call
Ascend and open a ticket on this one..
