AON

If you're in need of caller ID information display and logging, customized greetings, voice message saving, and management of modem dial-up connections, AON might just be the software for you. Its system tray feature ensures that it stays out of the way until a call is received, after which a window will open and display all necessary information. This program allows you to configure a maximum recording time, and also includes text-to-speech capabilities.

In addition to its answering machine functions, AON can record or play your phone conversations through your sound card. You can specify blacklisted numbers that the program will ignore or hang up on. Its modem wizard feature is extremely helpful, as it can identify your modem's COM-port and command set.

Other features you'll love include voice data compression, a detailed phone book to help track callers' personal information, and outgoing modem call handling. AON also includes an advanced phone book that plays different sounds for different numbers. This program enhances Windows Dial-Up Networking to allow management of all of your ISP telephone numbers and will auto-retry the next number after the previous one fails. Overall, AON is a helpful and feature-packed software solution for all of your phone-related needs.
