Can PCC read out phone numbers from caller id from soft phones like Magic Jack. That would be great. Incoming call from (caller id) or (Dad) instead of a ringer. I might be asking to much but it never hurts to ask.  Still playing with the test version till I get my new automation computer up. (smoke a motherboard)

To be honest I don't know!
The drivers PCC uses for tapi are capable of handling VOIP but since I don't have a majic jack I can't debug for it.
All I can Say is try it!
Let me know if it works or not. If it doesn't I'll look into it, but you may have to be my beta tester for it!

 This was one of them sitting around thinking of things I can do with PCC when  an I wonder moment happened.  My magic jack is loaned out at this time, but I'll be investigating sometime this week. Thanks.

You may wish to try it with AlertDialer as well.
It uses the same drivers and has more phone options.

links for basic and standard AlertDialer are down.  Thanks though I'll give it a shot when the links are back up. Still need to get my MJ back, with the holidays we're playing tag.

[Tuicemen]

Links are working now.
Maybe a holiday blip! 
If the standard AlertDialer doesn't work I'll see if there is special code for the magic jack.

When I added the Slide show option I set the timer so the matrix show looked right.
Thinking about it now, this may not work for some slide shows so I'll add a option to regulate the time interval between slides in the next release.

I've tried MagicJack with alert dialer. I can't seem to get it to work. Tried all the settings for modems. Haven't tried it with PCC yet, just got my Home Automation server back up and running. Not sure I'd even know where to start with these things. Thanks

If it doesn't work with AlertDialer it won't work with PCC as it uses the same set of drivers.
I'll do some digging and see if there is away to connect without having to upgrade the driver licence.

Ok it doesn't appear the AlertDialers or PCC will have the ability for VOIP any time soon.
It isn't that it's not possible, the driver price just makes it not feasable!
Hey, If I win the lottery, I will add it!

Sounds like the same reason I haven't added Insteon or Dragon Dictate support yet.

Some of these vendors want more for their SDK stuff than I charge for the whole program, and some want to charge that for every copy you sell! 
 

[Tuicemen]

Yes it is a shame!
A small fee I could live with but the last licence I got I still hasn't paid it's self with the program I got it for!
And that was about 5 years ago!

[thejackal]

No worries, that sucks about the price of stuff though. Thank you for taking the time to check it out though. Much appreciated. 

[Tuicemen]

Not a problem!
I'm always looking for suggestions and ways to improve PCC!
