possible to do this with VOIP?

[jfall]

I work from home and have a VOIP line (connected to a remote asterisk server at the company I work for). I'm using a Linksys PAP2 SIP unit.

I was wondering if there is any way that I can have call information displayed on my computer monitor. Like if someone calls my voip line it will popup on my computer with the caller id information etc. Any applications that can do this?

Yeah get a dialup modem that supports caller ID and run your phone line through it.

this is definitely possible with POTS lines, i suppose VOIP would have to send the same information to retain compatibility.

The Asterisk server *is* sending the information to your phone... I'm just not sure what application would take it and show you on-screen. Its definitely possible, and simple, just not sure if any programs implement that.

try callsoft, I used to run it back in the day and it was pretty cool....30 day free trial so you're out nothing if you try it....requires a modem in your pc.

I can't wait to install Asterisk

Install openfire (formerly wildfire)

Install the asterisk plugin for it (also from the same guys) -- you'll need to setup an asterisk manager interface to get asterisk to talk to wildfire.

Then install spark (also from the same guys) and connect to your openfire server and map your SIP/exten to your XMPP account.

All of this will off take about 2-4 hrs....
