hmm.. you want a call waiting activated?
There is a number to get that activated, it's provided for free now.

Just call the "Customer care" and ask them what's that number. You get beep sound when you get the calls.

What r u talking about ?? :lol: :eek:

He needs a software that informs when a call is being recieved.

Call waiting option is one which alerts u on the phone that somebody else is trying to reach u on the same number while ur engaged in another
conversation

Check this website, lots of sharewares and some freewares.

I am not sure if this is possible because adsl modems and the phone operate at different frequencies which is taken care of by the splitter.
However, you could buy a voicemodem, connect your phone line to the line jack and connect your phone to the phone jack. Now you can use your modem to make and receive calls. I haven't tried this, but I have a pretty good feeling it could work.

Hey vijay_v, just answer this Do you have a splitter installed with ur adsl setup? Seeing that most of the connections are adsl and not adsl-lite, let me assume that u do have a splitter installed.
Since the primary function of the splitter is to split the telephone freq from the adsl freq, ur adsl modem doesn't have the capablity to receive or to send any telephone calls. This should explain why I previously suggessted a voice modem as the only answer.

all the ADSL connections have a splitter...

so do u say that it is not possible to know when there is a incoming call on the phone just by using the ADSL modem??

I think you cannot do that since the splitter is in place. The work of the splitter is to differentiate the phone and Internet frequencies
