Hi,
Last year I downloaded Vista Caller-ID and the WHS add-in, and tried to get it to work properly. From my correspondence with Alexander, my understanding is that the WHS add-in essentially functions as a shared database of call info for all the PC's on the LAN. This isn't quite what I need, since I want the WHS box itself to detect the caller ID info (that's where the modem card is). Is this now possible, or at least worth another try?
Hello,
Yes we have been working on just that and will soon be replacing the current log only add-in with a server version. Rest assured this is on our radar but with so much to-do and little time, progress can be slow. Has it really been a year?

I am also interested in this!
Me too, I have been trying to get the standard 1.0.8.5 version to work with my WHS box but it's no good. My modem dispays the call ID in hyperterminal but just shows call offered in the diags on the vistacallerid client. My modem is an old serial USR external 56k faxmodem.
If we can get this working i'll definitely donate a couple of beers!
We have some service based telephone code working in various bits and pieces but we have been super busy.However -we just flushed out the Kentdome beta group and are seeking a very small but extremely active beta population to aggressively knock out some action items starting this week.
To be more specific we have a very basic but new WHS add-in at 70% ready to roll and Grid BURN to work on this week. If we can get these out of the way we can focus almost exclusively on Caller ID for at least a solid week and I am very optimistic that we can get something nice into beta.
Who can help?
Sure, let me know what I can do. I have a WHS box with a modem card along with several other pc's running Vista and XP, so I think my network would be a good test bed. I also have Ascendis CallerID running, so I know the CallerID setup works.
I'm up for beta testing. Have WHS, a few vista ultimate & a few 7 home premium's.
Thank you. I believe we are already in touch =)
Any updates on this? Very interested as well.
We are beta testing newer WHS specific code - should know more in about a week's time.
That's great to hear! I actually bought a modem from ebay for use with this tool alone!
I would love to get this working with the modem in WHS as well (its my only box that is on 24/7). I have 3 Vista client machines. Happy to test :)
Anyone know if vonage or magicjack passes the appropriate caller-id info?
Add me to the list of people who are keenly interested. It has been a few months since your last report, but obvious the holidays became the focus for everyone. Any updates on subsequent progress and when we might have something available for the broader audience?
Thanks!
I would love to know when this is available or to sign up for any remaining open spots on the beta tester list. I am running WHS and 4 Win7 boxes (variety of MCE & laptops) as well as an extender (xbox360)
Thanks
Chris
