Greetings Telecom Specialists:

I am currently looking for a device that will allow my Macintosh
and/or PC to retrieve caller ID info from our university's digital
phone system.

We in the Information Center have reason to track incoming calls with
software running on a Mac (or PC) which will involve taking notes
"electronically" from within an application.  I need my application to
be able to extract caller ID info from the phone system as a call
comes in.

Does anyone out there know of a card or easily connectable device that
will connect to my MAC (via serial port) or PC (via serial port) and
let me do this?  Is it possible to make a device like this if one is
not available.?
