Caller ID now for the Web
Info InterActive introduced its Internet Call Manager telephone
service, which is a "call waiting" service that identifies an
incoming caller on a computer screen while the receiver is connected
to the Internet. Besides caller-ID information, the user can decide
to take the call, send it to voice mail, or forward the call with a
click of the mouse. Also, "remote call control." Users can monitor
calls going to their home phones from work or vice-versa without
having to tell the program the IP address of where to send the
caller-ID information. You won't get a busy signal as you downloaded
that latest version of your Web browser because call waiting services
provided by the phone companies didn't work with online services. Now
users can get calls by paying a monthly fee for Internet Call Manager
and installing a free software program but won't need any extra
equipment because the system uses a proprietary call management
