Can't be done.  The information is not available to the modem.

It's not available to *anything* on your end of the phone line unless you
pay the phone company for "caller ID", which is an optional extra-cost
service.  Once you've done that, suitable equipment can pick it up.  Some
of the very newest modems can do this, but old ones can't.  The signalling
conventions are odd (more precisely, archaic), and the modem has to listen
to the line *before* picking up the phone, which old ones can't do.
