Expert: Bill Block Date: 12/27/2002 Subject: Call Waiting, Caller ID on Conmputer screen
Question Hi--
A friend has a Verizon service by which the name and number of an incoming call appears on his computer screen whether he is on the phone (call waiting caller ID)or just on the internet.
He has dial up internet service (AOL)
I have cable broadband, so my always-on internet connection has nothing to do with my phone.
Is there any hardware or soctware that would permit me to get the call waiting, caller ID info on my computer screen. (I also use a nifty shareware program that dials numbers from my computer screen, but I would be willing to give this up if necessary.)
Many thanks,
Steve

Answer Hi, Steve. Sorry, you can't get there from here. Unless you are eligible to use this new service called Vonage...Google to the website at vonage.com and check it out. I wanted to try it even tho I work for the phone company, but they don't seem to have it in Alabama. At least thats how it looked. It might solve your problem AND save you some money...
Let me know if it works out for you. I'm curious to see if it is as good as it sounds...
