- The ISDN Call-Watcher is a very useful program for Microsoft Windows (Win95, NT),
- which shows, in combination with an ISDN-card all incoming caller-numbers and does
- some processing on that information.
-
- A lot of ISDN-users do not want to buy expensive ISDN-telephones, instead they
- use a/b-terminal-adapters, to re-use their standard analog-devices (modem, fax-machine).
-
- Some ISDN-features are not available through this devices. The ISDN Call-Watcher
- fills the gap by offering monitoring what's coming in.
-
- Every incoming caller-number is displayed with date- and timestamp in a listbox.
- If the call is originated by a non-ISDN user, the number is not transferred and
- you will see "<unknown>" instead of a calller-number. Optional the destination-number
- and the requested service-indicator could be displayed. By double-clicking on an
- entry you can associate a name with that number. Every call is written to a logfile
- (optional).
-
- All name-to-number configuration are written to disk, that on the next call
- you will find the name of the caller in that listbox.
-
- With the name-to-number configuration you can specify caller, you don't want
- to talk to, which are not welcome. This people immediately will receive a
- "busy"-signal ("unwanted-list"). The call will be logged as usual, but an "X"
- will mark this caller as "rejected".
-
- I'm not sure, but sometimes the rejected caller has to pay for one very short
- call for each reject (one unit).
-
- The number-to-name-list is parsed from top to bottom. For example the number
- "1234" and the following list:
-
- 1234 John
- 123* X insurance sales guy
-
- You will see "John" in your caller-listbox and the call is not rejected.
-
- With the F12-Key you optional can reject the current caller. Reject-time is
- over, when the animation is finished.
-
- In most configurations you will run the program iconic or completely hidden.
- Every incoming call could be displayed with a little animation (as you
- configure it). The icon-title will show the name or the number.
-
- The window/icon of the program could be configured to be always invisible
- after the start. Only when somebody calls your number, the ISDN Call-Watcher
- pops up to show, what's going on.
-
- If you move the program to the startup-group, and start it in iconic mode,
- you only see it, when a call comes in.
-
- On startup the initialization of the CAPI-interface is delayed,
- to allow some manufacturer loader-programs to initialize the ISDN-card.
-
- The ISDN Call-Watcher is an DDE-Server. You can for example establish a
- 'Hot-Link'-connection with Microsoft Excel using the simple statement
- "=ISDNMoni|Rufnummer!Rufnummer". A more complicated makro could popup all
- information about the caller, that is stored in an Excel-sheet. You can
- configure DDE-parameter in a sub-dialog.
-
- The "Actions"-menu allows you to configure, what should happen, when
- a call comes in:
-
- - Become visible as described above. You can use the ShowMoni-application,
- to make the ISDN Call-Watcher visible immediately.
-
- -What kind of animation, if a call comes in in normal window-mode
-
- -How long the animation should be active
-
- -If iconic, perform some Icon-blinking
-
- -If you powered off the monitor, while you were out, you could see by a
- blinking Scroll-Lock LED, that somebody made a call to you
-
- -You can configure to switch from icon- to normal-window mode and-or after
- animation-time is over go back to iconic-mode
-
- - A wave-file could be played, or any program could be started, even
- selective depending on the caller. As a command-line parameter the number
- of the caller could be configured.
-
- On number-to-name associations and on actions leading 0's will be ignored.
- You can specify a terminating wildcard. For example when somebody from a
- large company calls you, you can associate the name of the company by this
- first digits.
-
- All settings are stored automatic on file.
-
- As a software-developer you can receive special Windows-messages with an
- additional string-pointer to the calling number.
-
- The shareware-version is free (z.B. Internet "www.sharekey.de")
-
- Help on installationproblems:
-
- - Is the CAPI2032.DLL-library, that the ISDN-card manufacturer
- really installed and accessible with your path (or in the windows,
- windows\system directory) ? Some ISDN-card manufacturer keep this files
- only in the private directories.
-
- - in general:
- the ISDN Call-Watcher works fine, if the ISDN-card could be called from
- outside (e.g. for file-transfer, receiving faxes)
-
- -if nothing helps, please contact me (make sure, you have tried everything)
-
- Registered Version:
- The time-limit on running the program is the only difference between
- the shareware- and the registered version.
-
- The price for the registered version is $ 29,- when
- using CompuServe-online registration:
- GO SWREG, ID: 13032
- !! Before you do this please send me an eMail saying that you !!
- !! want to have the 32Bit-version and not the 16Bit !!
-
- You will receive your personal key-file as eMail. Please copy
- the file ('ISDNMo32.key') to the ISDNMoni.exe-directory.
-
- Files that make up ISDN Call-Watcher:
