Re: How to get Caller ID into a PC from an ntl line...?

[Andrew Kilgore <andrew.kilgore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

Are you using Meteor on an ntl line...?

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention, I'm not prepared to pay that much
(=A3165!) for a solution unless there is no other (cheaper) alternatives.

ith
the various plugins for xAP and xPL, I fail to see what extra Meteor can
offer to justify the price tag. Feel free to convice me otherwise though...
;o)

Cheers,
Andy.
