I need a program...

[unprecedented]

So do you know of a good program that can tell me the phone number that is trying to call whilst im using my dial up internet. I have call waiting and caller ID. Im using a V.92 modem.

i've no experience with them but i googled it once for a friend and there are dozens if not hundreds available. so i'd look and see what will work best for you.

I think my parents used a program called Call Wave, back when they were still on dialup.

Mine too. But it cost like $4/month or so. Not sure what it's at now.

I got a friend that uses CallWave, seems to work. I believe she's using a free version which doesn't allow callers to leave messages.

I used Callwave about 4-5 years ago and it was great. It cost then .50 cents per month and you could here the person on the phone leaving the message while you were online. Callwave

99% of all services out there have v.92... you can take advantage of v.92 Modem on Hold capability. All that is required on your end is a v92 modem (which all new modems are) and call waiting. If you have that, and you're on the internet, and somebody calls you, your modem will listen for the call waiting beep, and notify you on your screen that you have an incoming call (and if you have caller ID, who's calling you). You can either choose to accept the call or ignore it. If you choose to accept the call, your internet service is put on hold while you take the call (different ISP will have different limits on this... they usually range from 2-6mins though), and when you're done, your internet is resumed.

There's no fee for this. You just need a v92 modem and call waiting.
