P.S. Now that's a nice little advantage over Windows.

I just ran across a tool called undisker at www.undisker.com that is
supposed to be able to read from a .iso image file. Normally you would use a
CD burner to burn the image to a CD but this tool allows you to read the
contents of the .iso file. You can extract one or more files from the .iso
file
Not really. The software that comes with the modem could easily do this. The
PC should still be useable (although with Windows 9x that might not be much
;^)).

P.S. The caller-id stuff has been available in modem software for a long
time.
