i want to purchase a modem that can work with phone answering machine software that is capable of caller ID and distinctive ring recognition. There is a program called callzap that you can tell which calls to "zap", like the one's that interrupt dinner constantly trying to sell you something. This program must use a modem that has caller ID. Distinctive ring is something I want so I can assign a specific ring type to pick up for fax only. I went to Comp usa and they were clueless. they had about 43 different modems that pretty much all did the same thing...NOTHING...can anyone point me to a particular good quality modem tht will do what i want?

thanks to all of you!

First problem - if you are using WindowsXP or 2000, you'll need to be aware that Microsoft removed distinctive ring support from TAPI (the operating system)

In my opinion, you are better off answering the calls and immediately requesting to be added to the marketer's do not call list; and, add yourself to the national do not call registry.

Hi ! Im tying with IVM Soft (autoanswere and voice mailbox) And it's ok. I Have an UsRobotics Sporter 33.6 Voice External.

My Problem is: I need that the program (o modem) let me
take the phone while the greeting message is still playing.
I want that when a take the phone, the message will turn off
automatically...

Is it possible ???


Thanks !!!!
