Search Again: Telephony solution! From: Matt Simerson Date: Saturday, March 20, 1999 Time: 10:14:09 pm I just found it. It's cheap, it's simple, TAPI compliant for the PC folks, and AppleEvents savvy for the MacOS folks. http://www.big-island.com/prod-yoyo.html These little buggers came out a few years ago and I forgot all about them. It's just a little 1200 baud device you plug into your phone line. When a call comes in it users Caller ID information to trigger your PIM or FileMaker to "pop" that persons information up in the database. It can page you when someone leaves a message, and if you use your telco's voice mail feature, alert you to the presence of voice mail messages. It will also act as a phone dialer. Did I mention that it's cheap? Retail is like $119 and www.warehouse.com has them for $100. The only drawback right now is that you need one for each phone line. We have 5 phone lines so that would kind of suck but they plan a multi-line version (or so their web site says). Anyone have any experience with these little critters? What'dya say Shawn, if I buy one will you add the functionality to Optigold?
