I was reading a computer magazine, and they seem to be introducing a new system whereby, if you only have one phone line, you can connect your computer to it, and it will notify you if you have an incoming telephone call. If the information on the caller is in your computer it will show you the name of the caller. You can either disconnect and take the call, or you can direct the caller to their voice mail service. Anybody know anything about it? (:o)

Morning Gal. I haven't come across this yet, but I do use Yahoo quite a lot. They're very creative and are always coming out with new features to capture the punters. This sounds quite good.
BTW - Happy New Year.

I think Symantic have a program that operates simarlarly called Talkworks but you need a mic & speakers on your pc to use the phone.

There are several different bits of software that does this.

I do not use them because if I am on here talking to you lot I do not want to be disturbed.
