Phone Call Warning

G

Guest

Hello All,

Does anyone know of a freeware solution for Internet users that use a single
phone line for dial up and phone use that will tell you that there is an
incoming call while you are on line?
I found BuzMe which is advertised as freeware but it's not.

Thanks
Brian

There are a few including Call Wave... unless they have
greatly improved you usually find out about the call as the
caller is hanging up...

[not freeware] For a few bucks (~$40 cdn) Catch-A-Call is a
small external module that connects to the incoming phone
line... not only does it ring for you (before the
5th/6th/7th... ring) when you pick up the phone it puts the
modem into a hold loop and if it is a short call, usually
under 20 seconds, it will reconnect the modem to the ISP and
your DL/web page continues on... I had a few customers who
used these and for the most part they were very satisfied...

I checked the Call Wave site, it's not freeware either.

Can be if you use it for a limited amount of time per month.

I picked up a 56K Zoom modem for $5. at a flea market once, and discovered on
their site they have a free flash update to the modem that includes an incoming
call warning. If you do not have the right Zoom modem they also had a free
utility that ran on windows that warned of incoming voice calls. Do not
remember if this program works for all modems or just zoom modems.

I have seen modems advertized recently with this feature already built into
the modem. Myself, I bought one of those hardware gadgets (Hot Call) for about
$30. that warns of voice calls by a light and a ring. It does work on all
modems but requires call waiting phone service. I have been happy with my
gadget for years. Alas, at some point the ring stopped working, but the light
still works!

GO search V92 and you'll find most people are having
problems with the tel ring feature... Sorry I had to be the
bearer of bad news,
