Caller ID over PC

[bruinator]

Sorry, I was under the impression that you had quite a few of them. Mistake on my part. It is not extremely important but it is something I prefer to have.

thx

I have a lot of modems. They pre-date Vista, apparently.

The Antman does not dispose of hard assets.

 

[bruinator]

Well, I appreciate the thought then. Thx again.

 

[Antman]

Please provide shipping information.

USRobotics Support: USR5699B 56K* PCI Faxmodem for Windows - 5699b

 

[Antman]

Please be advised: Many modem users are reporting fatal difficulties using modems on non-Bell phone lines. Cable telephone, FiOS, et cetera - not working with standard run of the mill modems.

 

[bruinator]

Thx Again Antman. I will PM you with shipping info.

 

[bruinator]

Plz let me know that you received shipping info.

thx

 

[Antman]

I have the info. You can delete your copy of the PM for security purposes. I have filed it here.

I found the model, now asking retailers for a better price. Please confirm that you have plain old telephone service. This model will NOT work on alternate providers.

 

[bruinator]

yes, I have a verizon phone line connected to my computer setup.

thx

 

[Antman]

That was from Joli Bear.

She asked me to tell you, "Best wishes."

"Daddy! Please don't let me be sucked down the drain. I will be a good girl for now own...promise!"

Joli just pulled a lot of keys off of my Gyration keyboard.

Oh dear...that reminds me of a time about 3 years ago when I got my second laptop. It was a Dell Inspiron E1505 (Solid Performer) and had it for about 5 days until my nephew was playing around with a cordless phone and chucked it at the computer screen...

Just curious, is it possible to get caller ID over my PC without a modem present in my PC? If so, what software can I use to do this?

thx

If you want Caller ID on your existing phone #, the only way is a Modem. Period.

Comment withheld. Not completely true, but the detail was.

Your right, not completely true, but for practical purposes it is.
There are devices out there im sure that will do what he wants, but the easiest way is just a Modem.

But hey, if i'm wrong, feel free to let me know what kind of other options there are that I don't know about.
