Vonage Through this whole discussion, I only saw one mention of NCID.
I implemented
Through this whole discussion, I only saw one mention of NCID.
I implemented NCID and I must say that I am very impressed with how it works. Its also open source so I can modify as needed.
I setup the NCID server, then I put a copy of ncidsip on my firewall (I run a linux firewall).
I put NCIDpop on all the clients throughout and all is happy. There are ncidpop clients for several OS's.
Some advantages for me:
callerID shows up BEFORE the phone even rings, unlike a modem solution where it doesn't come through until after the first ring
Works for multiple lines.
No hardware needed (I didn't have to hang a modem on each phone line and hook it back to a computer). Strictly a software solution.
CallerID history is visible from the client (ncidpop) even if the client wasn't active (computer off, etc) at the time of the call.
I can create an alias file for better names or numbers that don't have names, if the number/name is in the alias file that name shows instead of what Vonage sends (useful for other Vonage customers and cell phone customers).
When I'm not home I can vpn back to my network and still see callerID history.
NCID can act on incoming calls by launching a script (to send me an email, or any other number of things).
Unfortunate for me, my phones don't support callerID without expensive options. I must run a phone switch and to add callerID to it requires a $100 card (not so bad) but also requires me to upgrade all the phones to $200 display phones (too cost prohibitive).
Read The Full Thread: Caller ID Software?

• Yes, you can check if your modem is capable by connecting to it with Hyperterminal
• I use the PhoneTray Free software that you can get here:

Works
• YAC is another option. YAC receives the caller ID info using a modem connected
• I used Identafone it is not free but has many great features.
• I wish there was something for Mac OS X!
