I just want to bring to the attention of interested developers, that
this is not the first product on the market that demodulates Caller ID
and provides a computer interface. My company, Rochelle Communications, 
have announced such a product some time ago. It has several features
that CLASSMATE lacks: 1) a ring detect indication, 2) a on-hook /
off-hook monitor (so that the PC can determine whether the incoming
call has been answered, and if so track its duration), and 3) it is
compatible with both US and Canadian implementations of Caller ID.

Rochelle will also provide extensive support for serious software
developers and systems integrators (Caller ID simulator, software
drivers, and direct technical support). Our ANI-232 has also undergone
extensive modem testing and received high marks from a leading
independent testing organization.
 
Rochelle has also developed an end-user product, Caller ID+Plus, which
adds a memory resident software package to the ANI-232. Caller ID+Plus
is a contact management system ideally suited for small businesses and
home office professionals.
