a new software for modems

Hi all!
I am really enjoying a new software I' have been using for a while now. 
This software does exactly what I had in mind when I thought of a
solution 
to help me manage my phone calls.

It's a breeze to place calls. The general idea is that you can place
calls as you need to make them or schedule calls for any time in the
future and THAT'S IT. You can continue to do whatever you need to do.
Next time you hear from PCphone (that's the name of the software..) is
when one of the parties you wanted to talk to is actually on the line
waiting for you to pickup and talk. 
Really great. The phonebook is very convenient & it's possible to import
external data if you already have a DB with names and phone numbers.

BUT.. Ah-ha, there is a small but. PCphone uses your modem, and in order
to really enjoy all the good features of PCphone, it needs a certain
type of modem. They say that any modem based on Rockwell modem chips,
with voice (speakerphone is recommended) will do the job. I am using a
BOCA V34 office communicator with speakerphone, and like I said it works
great. I tried it also on my other machine which has a Zoltrix 28800
without voice, and it also worked, but not as smoothly as with the BOCA.
Rockwell chips are used on about 70% of the modems, so you might also
have one. You can use a terminal program, and try the ATI3 and ATI6 to
find out about your modem, but I think that it is much easier to just
install PCphone and try it.

Highly recommended. Saves me a lot of time and aggravation every day and
I can't forget to make calls anymore.

HINT: When you need the serial port for another application, click the
green telephone icon on the left side of the PCphone toolbar. This turns
the dialing off, and releases the serial port. The icon will change to
red. Click it again to resume making calls.

Have fun,
