KDR:
All I can say is Nice Work Tuicemen  ;D

----------------KDR

Tuicemen:
Thanks KDR!
It does take a bit of setting up!
* Renaming the extention to "exe" (to be able to install)
* Adding your pop3 address info (for email)
* Zipcode or city code (for weather)
* Modem selection (for caller id)
* Camera addressing  & videocapture device (video display)But playing around most users will figure it out! ;)
For those that can't they can Post here or Private message me!
There was a problem with running the e-mail batch file from AHP but I think that is fixed with V2.0.0.1

KDR:
I didn't try setting anything up yet but can it do Caller ID from a system with Voice over IP?

----------------KDR

Tuicemen:
I never programed it for that! Just threw a voice modem with call id enabled from the phone company!
The program does see all communication devices so adding it as the modem and testing may result in success! ::) ???
Do let me Know if that works for you!
You may have inadvertently found a hidden option! ::)
