| teokanthalus Tl Posts: 1 Canada | Posted - 8/29/2007 8:27:06 PM    I'll start off with the basics - I'm a noob at this. I have a Compaq laptop with a conexant softmodem inside, and a dialup internet connection. I need a way to monitor my phone line in case calls come in, because I miss way too many of them already, and for some reason, when people call as is, my phone rings a bajillion times while I'm online before the answering machine kicks in, so they end up hanging up anyway. I bought the computer in June of 2006. What I need to know are the following things: Any and all help would be appreciated. |

If you didn't, then you'll need to get driver somewhere other than from HP, and MoH software. "The answering machine" - sounds like you have a telco provided answering service, not a machine at your location. As long as you get a v.92 driver with MoH enabled, MoH software, and are dialing into an ISP that supports V.92/MoH it should work. Where do you get the driver/software? I would suggest determining the PCI ID of your modem, and searching for that on Google or other search engine along with driver. Any vendor other than HP/Compaq (assuming yours is one they don't support it on) will have drivers that support V.92/MoH. Aloha! Richard. |
