PhoneWatcher is a personal telephone manager for your Macintosh and modem. PhoneWatcher allows you to report, log, and respond to incoming modem calls in a small, easy-to-use Macintosh program. Using CallerID, you can identify incoming calls and respond with various alerts and sounds. PhoneWatcher also logs calls and creates phone books, allowing for easy reporting. Further support includes hanging up on a predetermined caller, paging a number based on an incoming call, and various system alerts including speech. With support for external Caller ID devices, PhoneWatcher can track additional items including outgoing calls and call durations.
Installing PhoneWatcher
To install PhoneWatcher, put the PhoneWatcher control panel in the Control Panels folder, and put the PhoneWatcher Extension in the Extensions folder and restart your computer.
Using PhoneWatcher
 
To configure PhoneWatcher, open the PhoneWatcher control panel in the Control Panels folder in the System Folder. Complete balloon help is available.
Use the radio buttons to turn PhoneWatcher on and off. Normally you should keep PhoneWatcher on - PhoneWatcher will automagically let go of the modem when another application wants to use it. Some applications use an alternate scheme to check if the modem is busy, and will not function properly with PhoneWatcher. You can manually turn off PhoneWatcher with these buttons.
There are many other options within PhoneWatcher that are in individual windows. Click one of the buttons to bring up the window.
• "Modem…" allows you to change the modem port and initialization strings
• "Ringing…" allows you to tell PhoneWatcher what to do when the phone rings
• "Caller ID…" allows you to tell PhoneWatcher what to to when caller ID is recognized
• "Paging…" allows you to change paging options, including pager number, delay time, etc.
• "Log…" displays the log of rings, caller ID info, pages, etc.
• "Hot Key…" allows you to set "Hot Keys" to control PhoneWatcher
