Just imagine: The phone is about to ring. You
don't know it, but your computer does, so it displays the name and number
of the caller, opens their notes and account records, turns off the audio
CD that is playing in your CDROM drive and marks their location on a map
of the UK. It does all of this just before the phone rings and then speaks
the name of the caller, in case you are away from the screen.
All this is possible using the Caller Display 2 System from Octopus Systems.
This page describes the RISC OS version for Acorn computers which works
with our Caller Display units or with Pace 56k voice modems. A Windows
version offering similar facilities is also available.

"The product is delightfully simple to use. It works
very well and could be a positive boon for a small business. You
can impress your customers by having their details already open
on the screen before you answer the call."
Alan Wrigley, Risc User 10.3, Jan/Feb 97

The Caller Display service is available on most telephone lines
even if you don't have the 1471 service. It costs just £4
per quarter from BT and it's free with some other telephone companies.
Enabling Caller Display
Most telecoms companies, including BT, can provide the Caller Display
facility. On BT lines you need to request it (dial 150 for residential
lines or 152 for business lines). BT charge £4 (inc VAT) per quarter
for providing the service. Many other telecoms operators offer it as a
free service.

Do not confuse the free 1471 service with Caller Display. You can
call 1471 from any telephone to find the number of the last caller
(after the call has finished), but the Caller Display system enables
you to see the number of the caller before answering.
"The level of technical support provided
by Octopus Systems has been excellent, as has their upgrade service
via email. I would certainly recommend this package to anyone considering
using the Caller Display System for either home or business use.
Could they have yet again produced 'the best software available
on any platform'?"
