- PhoneAtt 1.0 (c) 1991 Mikael Wahlgren
-
- PhoneAttention, is a simple program, that monitors a signal from the
- modem on the serial port. When a phone is ringing, the modem detects
- this, even if it isn't in auto answer mode.
-
- This programs displays a pop-up window whenever a phone call is received,
- and plays a little tune. The program is developed for my personal use,
- as I can't hear the phone ringing when I sit at the computer with the
- stereo headphones in the ears. It is nice to have the computer actually
- write, that the phone is ringing.
-
- The program is compatible with OS/2 1.3 and OS/2 2.0. It works both when
- you are in PM and in a text session. Two warnings though... The OS/2 2.0
- LockUp feature, will REALLY lock up your computer, if a phone call is
- received when the desktop is in lockup mode (with the lock running around
- on the screen). My opinion as that this is a bug in the operating system,
- and nothing I can do anything about. The second warning is that even
- if the program in most cases doesn't interfere with your use of the modem,
- it MAY in some RARE situations interfere with the handshaking between
- the modem and device driver. But normally, you can use the modem just as
- you usually do, even if PhoneAtt is installed.
-
- This program is free to use for non-commercial use. The support level for
- this program is at the idle priority. Any questions should be directed to:
