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

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Blimey! Is that how much they now cost? Bloody hell....

The last time I criticised the Meteor here I got told off by the
manufactur=
ers!

The Meteor does do a lot but I now do not use any of it, just purely CID
an=
d ACE.

And yes, I am using NTL.

I will ask around at work and see what they use.

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

Cheers,
Andy.
