In our area .... if you dial 711, it will tell you the number..
This does vary quite a bit, but a local phone guy can tell you
the "local" test number... Phone installers use this method 
every day. I have never seen the inbound number stored in a
line or controller description, so you will just have to start
at the modem and work backwards to figure out line,ctl, etc...
