v.92 and callers

[bixit_62]

hey all.
just helping out a mate, he has a v.92 dial up modem. is there any software out there in the big wide web that will give him sort of a popup whenever anyone rings the line that the modem is attached to?
thanx dudes and dudettes!

Yes there is. but I don't know what it's called or where to get it. It came bundled with the modem and I am not at the computer that is using it . Search around for freeware and you will find something.

[I.M.O.G.]

Callwave does that I believe, don't know if its any good or not.

What kind of modem is it, you should be able to download the software for this from the manufacturer.

Does his connection support v.92 however? Just because your modem supports it, does not mean your connection does, so that might be something worth looking into.

thanx.
umm.... 'wstinkbait' you couldnt get the manufacturer of that modem could you? or better still the name of the program? if you can id be eternally grateful! thanx dudes and dudettes.

When I get back to the house I'll check. Be tommorow sometime I'm out of town now.

OK I called and got the info. It is a Modem Blaster from Croative Labs. I got it at Best Buy. The Program is called Netwaiting (version 2.5.3) and can be downloaded from HERE (http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp)

The info page says it is for that modem only but try it anyway. It uses the "Modem on hold" feature of the V.92 standard.

[I.M.O.G.]

Software from another modem manufacturer is fairly likely incompatible with modems of other manufacturers... Who made your modem?

dont know what make his modem is, is for a mate, if i had it my way id just tell him to cut the 56k line and get broadband or some form od adsl! lols. o well.
thanx again.
