Hi, it's me again, the thing that wouldn't leave!
Having received the notice from C&P announcing a $16 service
charge waiver incentive for activating CLASS features, I decided
I can't wait for other promised products to hit the market.
My question: where can I buy any Caller*ID box now! Even with
its flaws, the one you have would be an acceptable alternative
in the interim. I haven't seen nor heard of any others, anywhere.
Someone mentioned Sears, Roebuck, & Co. the other day; they must
be cheaper than Hello Direct's $100 price tag!
p.s. I talked to a ham operator named 'John' the other day who
seems to be into computers at UM@CP. In fact, half the ham radio
club there seems to be. I'll check to see if we know some people
in common.
Thanx now, til then!

I should be able to post information about a real nice Caller*ID display unit very soon. If I receive permission to advertise this unit, I will post the ordering information, etc. This unit stores the last 64 calls (including the date and time) and will sell for under $100 ($70-90 ?). Give me a week. I am also considering having a unit developed that will provide an RS-232 interface, for connection to a processor or printer (i.e., ASCII). I would like to here from anyone who would be interested in this capability. George H.

Software Studios (Annandale, VA (703) 978-2339) is supposed to ship a device called "Clyde" this quarter. Clyde is a box with an RS-232 interface, and some pc software. Like thousands of others, I too am awaiting the product literature that was to be mailed last week. Btw, Colonial Data Systems (New England somewhere) has announced a Caller*ID RS-232 box with general availability in 2Q90. That's two vendors. Who else has announced a Caller*ID device?
