Dec 31, 2019 at 19:46 comment added Mokubai Mod @lx07 "the internet" usually involves your browser and computer doing a lot of work and indeed to confirm it our help also states that website and webapp problems are explicitly off-topic with the implied caveat of "except when the problem is with your computer hardware or software". There is a fine line, and the ISP hardware would be off-topic as well as websites, but that still leaves a large amount of "how your computer actually uses the internet" that is on-topic.
Dec 31, 2019 at 19:32 comment added lx07 This answer says "it fails the "personal and home" part because your question is about public telephone network that has little to do with your home except for a short length of wire". Surely by this logic any question about the internet would be off-topic. +1 for the "Super User is not a telephone directory service" though.
Dec 28, 2019 at 14:50 comment added Mokubai Mod That may be the goal in the end but your question is entirely focused on the stages before that point. If you can remove basically the entire question after the sentence you just quoted and tell us what the results of getting a call are and whether caller ID works then it might be on topic, but "can someone give me a callback number", the majority of your actual question, is not on topic. "I'm trying to test Caller ID on a USR modem attached to a land line". Okay, so what happens when you get a call? Does anything happen?
Dec 28, 2019 at 14:24 comment added jww The task is testing the modem: "I'm trying to test Caller ID on a USR modem attached to a land line".
