Hi
All.
This email SHOULD be
off topic I know, but I was unsure if the people I was trying to reach received
offtopic emails.
Anyway. A while
back, there were some posts about caller ID and how modems didnt seem to
recognize caller id in NZ etc.
Well, an interesting
thing came to my attention.
A guy at my work
told me that he had an old 33k Dynalink voice modem that he was able to get to
recognize caller id.
I was very sceptical
because, well, this guy has been know to tell the odd pork.
So I borrowed a 56k
voice modem we had just brought at work, and sure enough.....I got caller ID in
my hyperterminal window !!!
I was completly
amazed !
I now have a wee
app. that sits in my task bar and captures calls etc. and using the MS Speech
API I it "Tells" me who is calling.....it gets worse....I have built a wee unit
to put a video overlay of the phone number and persons name on my TV.....ok its
a bit sad I know....
SO...if anyone is
vaguly interested, this info might be of some use.
