Short: El-CID 2.2, CallerID using the modem Author: bornhall@karkis.canit.se (Peter Bornhall) Uploader: bornhall@karkis.canit.se (Peter Bornhall) Version: 2.2 Type: util/cdity Replaces: util/cdity/El_CID.lha Distribution: Freeware Leading Amiga Software presents El-CID -- CallerID the easy way ================================= Copyright ©1996, Peter Bornhall All rights reserved. Description =========== El-CID is a small program which enables you to make use of the CallerID function built into your modem. If your modem supports this function, and it's properly set up, El-CID will notify you of any incoming calls directly on your screen. El-CID also pops up on the frontmost public screen, so there is no need to flip screens to see who is calling. Requirements ============ El-CID should work on all Amigas equipped with at least OS 2.04, but it also makes use of some new features present only in OS 3.0 and higher. El-CID uses about 56KB of memory when no phonebook is loaded. This does not take into account if bgui.library is loaded into memory or not. El-CID requires the following for proper operation; * A modem that has a built-in CallerID function. * The bgui.library in LIBS:, version 39 or higher. El-CID uses the excellent OwnDevUnit.library if it is present. That means that you do not have to quit El-CID when another program needs the device currently in use by El-CID. This does however require the other program to use OwnDevUnit.library too. Features ======== Most of the following features are things I wanted myself, but I do hope that they appeal to you too. * Uses new features of OS 2.1, OS 3.0 or higher. * It is a commodity, and can be enabled/disabled at any time. * It uses BGUI.library for its GUI and commodity interface. * Uses OwnDevUnit.library if available. * It pops up on the frontmost public screen. * Displays the date and time in localized form. OS 2.1+ * User may specify device and unit to use. * Simple phonebook, displaying the name of the caller. * Simple call logging, with date, time and caller.
