Is there a Panasonic or other brand of PBX that supports Standard analog phones and Standard analog caller id boxes????

Small in size ... Smart in Style ... and it has a lighted dial.

Panasonic will support analog phones, rotary etc. But I don't think call I'd units. There needs to be a signal from the co, but it won't make it past the panasonic

My main number had CID. I have several CID units in my home... come in real handy! but remember... Caller ID has to be ordered through the phone company.... I can't remember if its part of the regular package or not... but it starts from the CO....

I used to use the spare pair for caller ID. the pair needs to be direct to the Dmarc.

Right it would have to come right from the Dmarc but it must be going around the pbx not through it.

At least in the UK, Panasonic have/had Caller ID cards for their KX-TA range.

AIUI this passes Caller ID to display proprietary telephones; I don't think it passes it to SLT extensions (BICBW).

British / BT style caller ID is technically very different from USA style. In the UK it's sent before the first ring, so devices can intercept a call before the subscriber's bells ring.

Edit to add:

This USA site says

QuoteIn addition to displaying Caller ID name and number on a Panasonic proprietary telephone, the KX-TA824 can also send Caller ID to single-line telephones,  PCs, or Caller ID display accessories.

Other Panasonic systems either couldn't do this at all, or could do it for just one phone, or required an extra-cost circuit board to do it. With the 824, the feature costs you nada.

In any location where you want to see Caller ID, the KX-T7736 is a better choice than the KX-T7731, because the bigger display can show both name and number at the same time.
