There's another existing source, perhaps offered in a way PC bulletin board operators and general business would like it. The product: CallerID+Plus, from Rochelle Communications, Inc., Suite 200, 8716 North Mopac, Austin, TX 78759 POTS (512) 794-0088, FAX (512) 794-9997. Rochelle offers their RJ-11/RS-232 interfacing hardware separately or in conjunction with software that appears to be nicely suited to the small business. Their market thrust for the total package seems slanted toward small business use. For interest, their ANI-232 demodulator appears to be workable with either LEC CLASS Caller ID or with MCI's IXC Caller ID functions. It certainly will be neat when my local Sysop's BBS can just answer up and take me directly to the menu screen because he could get Caller ID on my when I dial in ... just to mention a possible hobbyist example as well.
