This is already possible with xAP and either a CID modem or the NetCallerID telephone device. In the UK a Meteor/Pegasus or a Pace CID modem is supported the former provides outgoing call support too Using the free xAPSwitchboard you can also have lookup and display on the Slim music player of the Callers Name and STD locality (UK), this can be synchronised with your Outlook address books . Also a full web accessible call log is maintained, you can even click on a contact and see the callers location in Google Maps.

It takes a few components all working together to get this going but if people are interested I'll write up a short 'how to', it's fairly easy once you know how.

That's very cool but highly complicated to build.

Wouldn't we be able to achieve the same results with only a 56kbps
modem in the PC ??
