Zohar Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Hello If you take a PC, install a FaxModem in it, and then connect it to a phone line, How can I get an Event whenever there's an incoming call? Thank you Edited October 19, 2010 by Zohar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitekram Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 you might have to buy a different modem - i know that there is software out there that will popup a message when an incoming call comes in (you may even get a message in the event viewer) you could go to the manufacture site and see if they have any software that allows you to know when an incoming message is happening, but a good sign would be when your phone picks up and you hear the all time favorite beeps 2¢ All by me:"Sometimes you have to go back to where you started, to get to where you want to go."

BrewManNH Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) If you mean just having it sit there waiting for a call to come in, you should be able to monitor the serial (COM) port that the modem is attached to, it's been a decade since I've used a modem but that's how I remember it working. But, if you mean it to tell you when you have an incoming call when connected to another computer, you're going to need to have a modem that recognizes Caller ID Call Waiting, and you need to have Caller ID Call Waiting enabled on the phone line.As I don't know the relevant commands you'd need to monitor your serial port, you should do a forum search for something that will allow you to do that, I know that I have seen something in the Example Scripts section that might be useful.***EditMeant to say Call Waiting above and put Caller ID in there by mistake. Also, I found the thread for the serial port UDF I had seen earlier, check out this topic.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
