I'm looking for a way to display Caller I.D. information from Fusion onto a desktop (Win 7). I feel sure someone must have addressed this, but I can't find anything on-line. I realize there are issues in getting the Caller ID data from the broadband signal through the modem and into a network--and then interpreted at the desktop, but I'm sure someone must have examined this. I wondering if anyone knows of a device (with appropriate software) that can overlay CID data on a desktop as a pop-up when calls are detected
AT&T does something similar with their U-Verse service--but on the TV--Comcast probably does something similar, but I don't think either of these services can funnel the data to desktops over Ethernet.
Issues:
1. Getting the data around the broadband modem (via a "box") or through a "special" modem that can capture and forward the data.
2. Creating suitable packets that can be sent to each NIC.
3. Software to detect a the CID packets and display the data as a pop-up.
I know there are software packages (some free) that will take CID data from an analog modem ... but broadband?
Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas, experiences, etc.?
