I manage to make caller id for single line with mscomm.oc.
Now I’m wanted to make caller id that get connected to multi line, the sting I got wasn’t readable.
I need help to understand it
T.i.a.

Just wondering, what did the string contain ? I have not tired the multi line thing, but sounds fun

I also wrote a call Id program that works off-line but when I try to go on-line I get a message that the port is already open. Are you saying that mscomm.oc. allows you to get CID info while on-line ???

roehrle,

What it sounds like you are doing is, when you have the caller id program open, you are using the comm port. You need to close the port before you try and use any other program that will use the modem on the same port.

What do_good was talking about (if I understood right), is if he/she is on line one or line two, they want to get the caller id info from the other line that calls in.

Also, your location says "Edgewater Park", Are you talking about Ohio ?

Hi Aspen:
We may have a communication problem here...I'll start over with a better explanation,I hope
The program that I wrote when I am not on the internet will notify me when there is a telephone call. It will extract the Date,Time Number and name of the caller from a telephone string that is transmitted after the first ring. Since I only have one telephone line I would like to know when I am on-line ,that I have a telephone call trying to reach me. If I try running the program before or after I go on-line I get a message that the port is already opened. It seems I have to be able to be on-line and at the same time be able to detect when I have an incoming call. I know this is possible because at the present time I am running a 15 day trial Faxtalk.com program that is able to do what I can't. My question is whether this can be done using VB6 or does the Faxtalk program contain proprietary software that allows them to do this. If this is true then I am wasting my time trying to do the impossible.It sounded like other person was using a *.oxc that maybe able to do what I can't do. I like my program better because it has more features than the Faxtalk and I would also have the ability to add other features in the future.
The Faxtalk program is called "Net on Hold". It also has a couple minor bugs which they claim to be modem problems not their software.
Sorry this explanation took so long but I have a habit of not taking the time to explain my problems in enough detail
No I live in Edgewater Park New Jersey.
Thanks for your help
