[QUOTE="samedney, post: 8027, member: 10490"] Yes, as I thought. I think I have an old modem around here somewhere, which could be set up on the server (or on the main PC I guess). This would have to be attached to an app, which would then broadcast the caller ID as it came in. It could check it against a database etc too. Any machines running the correct plugin on either XBox Media Center, or Media Portal could capture this 'Broadcast' and pop up the details on the screen. Writing an app to broadcast the number as it comes in is pretty simple. I could do it in VB.net. Someone else would need to do the media portal bit, as I dont know much about C# as yet. Perhaps for starters, I should try writing a tool which broadcasts the signal, and another tool which pops up the broadcast on any PC running it. Then, I could pass on that code, so it could be used in MP? Is this what someone is working on already, or is it just for a local phone / modem connection? Im not about to go back to using dial up any time soon! Let me know if this will be of use to anyone. [/QUOTE]
