1) What is ACC ?
ACC is an Advanced Caller ID and Telephone Answering Machine
software for voice modems. It's 32-bit application which may
reside in the system taskbar tray awaiting incoming voice calls.
ACC is compatible with several Caller ID schemes: Bellcore (American
Caller ID service accepted by many countries, including USA, Canada,
Australia, Israel and so on, also called Calling Number Delivery service);
Type II (Off-Hook) Caller ID with ID delivered after going off-hook;
British Telecom (BT) CLIP; Russian ANI (Automatic Number Identification).
As an answering machine the program can record messages and play them
back through the modem, handset or sound card. It can also monitor
conversation, feeding the sound card in real time.
The software works without using TAPI.

4) Install
If you are upgrading from ACID2000 1.7 BETA or any prior release,
please delete the previous release from your computer before installing
this one. Otherwise some older files will remain in the ACID2000
folder.
To install, run the file you just downloaded and follow the
instructions.
After files are installed and you run the program for the first time,
you will be prompted for COM port number, modem name (or chipset
manufacturer) and type of Caller ID you will use.
5) Un-install
To uninstall, exit the program and run 'Uninstall' from the Windows
Start menu. After than you may need to manually remove your settings
and wave files you recorded; they reside in the folder where ACC was
installed.
6) Online documentation available
Further information and documentation is in aon32.chm file, an MS
Compressed HTML file. If you cannot start this file, you probably don't
have MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. In that case you should either
install Internet Explorer or download the special help file version for
non-IE browsers (it will use Java applet to display itself). In the
second case there will not be any context help available - only
documentation in HTML files.
