xAP sounds like it's worth investigating. If someone could post a basic 'how-to' to help get started I'd be very appreciative. Thanks all, Tom -- twynne twynne's Profile:

That's very cool but highly complicated to build. Wouldn't we be able to achieve the same results with only a 56kbps modem in the PC ?? -- Lowrent Lowrent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5665

This is already possible with xAP and either a CID modem or the NetCallerID telephone device. In the UK a Meteor/Pegasus or a Pace CID modem is supported the former provides outgoing call support too Using the free xAPSwitchboard you can also have lookup and display on the Slim music player

Thanks to both of you guys, I already noticed the two caller-id plug-ins in the plugins page. Since I don't want to pay for the caller-id service from my phone company, what i'm interesting in is a fade-out-on-call / fade-in-on-hangup feature. Could I ask the modem if the line is occupied ?

The yac2slim http://www.savardsoftware.com/yac2slim/ package already outputs caller Id stuff to the SB. It seems like it would be pretty simple to have the music pause at least. Getting it restarted might still require a button push. On 6/6/06, Kevin Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is

to begin. It would be nice to just use one solution as a 'server' and have the caller ID sent to media center, other PC's, a macbook pro, and the SB3's. Is this possible with xAP?This is precisely what 'YAC' (http://sunflowerhead.com/software/yac/) does. Why would you be interested in this

The point I was trying to make was that I would prefer to have just one application which distributes to all of the above. I'm not too bothered about it announcing the name, so that would be an added bonus. I also like the idea of having access to my call history via a browser when I'm not at

Impressive. I'd be willing to port my TTS CID solution (in Java) to work with xAP if I thought there was any demand. Anyone interested? -- grimholtz 'Get PasswordMaker' (https://passwordmaker.org/) 'Get FoxyProxy' (http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/) 'Read one of my books'
