Free-standing caller display with names as well as numbers?

The previous post about Caller Display made me wonder ... does anyone know if it's possible to get a free-standing caller display unit, i.e. not built into a phone, that can be programmed to display a name as well as / instead of a number? Although BT said, when Caller Display was first introduced ( sometime late 90s ...? ), that this was going to be a standard feature, it never seemed to be available at the time, and I just thought they'd ditched the idea. I didn't even know it was available on certain phones nowadays, but since I use the old-style 8782 phones, it would have to be free-standing, if anything. Mind you, even then, that's if it wouldn't put the total REN number too high to allow the phones to ring ( already a problem ...!! ).

Have you tried an Internet search? Plenty of stand alone units available.

I searched for "caller display unit BT" and there were plenty of results.

To clarify: it's not that I've had trouble finding Caller Display units - I have a CD1000 sitting in front of me right now - it's that I've had trouble finding ones that display both name and number, and don't have a REN of 50. Or have I just not looked in the right place?
