caller ID over my PC

[bruinator]

I am looking fora free software that someone uses that allows my computer the ability to have caller ID pop up telling me who is calling me before I have to answer the phone. If someone knows of such software please let me know. I prefer s/w where I DON'T NEED TO USE A DIAL-UP MODEM. I use dsl.

Thx

Try THIS

I have never used it, but it looks like what you're requesting.
It says it doesn't require a modem to work, but I don't know if
it will work with DSL, as I wasn't able to read all the details.

Thx, already tried it. It does not work with vista.

You might've let us know these facts.  What else have you tried?

Hmmmm...

Vista Caller-ID is a simple CallerID software that runs in the system tray and displays the name and number of the current caller in a small pop-up window. The program can also announce the caller with a virtual voice and log all incoming calls to a text file. If you are using Microsoft Outlook, you can activate Outlook integration which will try to match the caller to your contacts and display a picture (if available).

Pros: Easy to use and install

Did you ever consider the problem may be on your end ? ?

Yes it may be that you simply do not have Caller ID enabled on your phone line...
