Requirements:

There are three requirements for using Caller ID Plus.

1.  Must have IBM compatible PC that runs Windows 95.
    Will not work on Windows 3.1.
2.  Must have a Caller ID modem.  Most of the newer voice modems
    are Caller ID compatible even though they don't say sometimes.
    To find out if your modem is Caller ID compatible just run the
    Caller ID program.  It will tell you if it can't find a Caller
    ID modem.
3.  Must have the Caller ID service activated by your phone company.
    Caller ID may not be available in some areas; just call your
    local phone company to find out.

The program has been tested and worked successfully on the following
modems:  US Robotics Sportster Voice Mail, Packard Bell Voice Modem
SupraFax 14.4 with Caller ID chip.


Description:   

We designed this program to be similar to a real Caller ID box to 
boost familiarity and ease of use.  Also, we wanted the program to be
simple and as easy to use as possible.  When starting the program, it
automatically searches for a COM port and for a caller ID modem, no
need for a modem set-up screen.  Another great feature is the ability
to attach .wav files to any displayed number so that you can hear who
is calling and you don't have to run to your computer to find out.  
It also may be handy (and also will impress your futuristic friends) 
if you place remote speakers in various rooms of your house so that 
magically when someone calls you hear a voice or music telling you who 
is calling.  Another handy feature you can "turn on" will instruct the
computer to automatically hang up on "Anonymous" or "Blocked calls".
If the computer detects an Anonymous call it answers and hangs up
automatically so you don't waste your time talking to people who don't
want to identify themselves.


How to Use:

Press the "?" button on the main screen to get help on how to use the
program.  The preferences options are also located on this screen.

Press the button that looks like a speaker to associate a .wav audio
file with the currently displayed number.  Just pick the .wav file from
the file directory.

To learn how to create a new .wav file so you can personalize your Caller
ID, click the HELP area under theWindows 95 start button.  Look up 
"AUDIO / RECORDING".  When you save your new recording, place it in the
"Programs\Caller ID Plus" directory so you can find it easier later.
