Hi Peter,

Yes I'm pretty certain (95%) that HSP can do this, based on my recollection
of it from when I ran it.

I've actually stopped using it for the time being, as I've switched to NTL
for my phone line, and (believe it or not) they don't offer CID in this
area!! (or at least that's what they are telling me...)

WRT the feedback, you could have homeseer announce the number of messages
via TTS... - I plan to try to do something like this to add functionality
to
my Comfort answering machine, - currently, when the property is entered
&
the panel is disarmed, if there are any messages left for the person who
has
just disarmed (me & SWMBO have unique PIN codes), they are played back
over
the compad...

However, if the message is for another user, they are not played, also it
doesn't say how many *calls* there were, - just how many messages.

Using Patricks plugin, Homeseer gets notified when Comfort is disarmed,
(and
by what user), so I hope to be able to add some of that extra stuff to make
it a bit more "super-duper" as an answering machine...

Paul G.
