RE: Voice modem with UK CID

["John Hill" <homeauto@xxxxxxx>]

Nigel,
I've been using HSP for a while now with a couple of cheapy PCI modems from
Simply computers.
These were mentioned by someone here a fair while back now,
Try searching for MD0206 or MD0219, there both around £20 but no good
for BT
style CID...but they do work fine otherwise
For CID it's the Meteor, and Vince's perl script combined with others from
the HS boards.

In my experience, the Message Pro modem worked well, but is was not without
teething problems. If I were starting again I would definitely buy a Meteor
unit, although this would require some coding to get it to work with
HS/HSP.

With a few scripts HomeSeer Phone is a great addition to HomeSeer. The main
problem for me was that it wants to use US style phone numbers, that did my
head in, so I wrote a parsing function to deal with the way HSP presents
the
number to HS. I use another (borrowed and butchered) script to look up
incoming numbers against the HSP phone book, another to display the last 20
callers in a web page and another to send a winpopup message across my LAN.
If there is no one at home I get caller info sent to me using email ->
sms.
It's all a bit cobbled together at the moment, but it works!

As I said in my previous post, I no longer use (or in fact own) the Message
Pro, as it wouldn't work with NTL.
My current modem works well, but is a no go with BT caller id. I am still
considering buying a Meteor to have a play with (it's screaming out for a
HS
plugin!).

Justin.
