- I was wondering if any of you know of the availability of Caller ID
- boxes with RS232 ports on them. My plan is to connect such a box to a
- speech synthesizer and have it act as a printer dump for the data.
- Having a PC with speech output already, I'm sure I could probably use
- some sort of modem with the caller id feature built in as well.
-
- However, I'd really like to go the box route, and have something
- self-contained. I've had several consulting clients who are blind ask
- me about the possibility of rigging up such a device, and I'd also
- like to do this for myself. I was surprised that the Hello Direct
- folks didn't have any available with ports, and neither did the two
- distributors that New York Tel mentioned. I also think a talking
- Caller ID box would be a great item for someone like Radio Shack to
- market. Any names and models would be appreciated. Thanks as always
- for all of your quick and efficient responses.
