Dial-Up connection utility
« on: August 16, 2006, 01:36:34 PM »
I'm using dial-up and it blocks any phone calls from coming in. I need a free utility that will detect whenever incoming calls are being made so then I can quickly disconnect and answer the call. Anyone know of any programs?

Google knows.  >This one< is freeware.  >This one< is shareware.

i have same problem.
i even didn't think that it could be solved.
Rob, the problem is in freeware's link it's told my OS should be till win2k.
does it work with Xp if other specs are ok?

Pretty much anything that requires Win2k should run fine on XP.

    Maybe a workaround for you, can you divert your incoming calls to a cell phone?
