Telephone Headset System. Telephone Answer Software?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. What I am looking for is a solution that allows calls to come in on my telephone line into the modem/fax card that will give ma a caller ID but also allow me to answer the phone and use a headset.

A. You don't say if you are dialup/broadband/ etc. I am on dialup and use CallWave Internet Answer Machine. It has caller ID, it will take a message, or you can click it to take the call and it will disconnect you from the internet so you can take the call if you want, by picking up your phone. I don't know about a headset. It works good for me. I've had it about 8 months and have had no problems with it. It says it can be used for broadband too. There used to be a utility produced by Intel around 8 years ago that was bundled with many fax modems that also supported voice functions. It might be worth while asking around to see if anyone still has a copy. Unfortunately, I can't recall what it was called. It does exactly what you want as well as receiving incoming faxes. It also allows you to set up a phone menu structure allong the lines of "Press '1' for this, press '2' for that", so you can annoy your callers as well. I'd like to have a PC based answering system that would record the message as text, rather than just audio. Guess that's not on the horizon anytime soon! DSL but also have a phone line hooked in for faxing out via the standard POTS. I'm just looking to be able to put a head set on and be able to answer there or take a message without picking up a regular phone someplace. I have software that can do caller ID or take messages but there does not seem to be a way for me to simply click in with a headset.
