I know what you mean about the drivers issues! I still use HS as the backend for my system, and 1.7x is running quite stable for me. Home Seer Phone is another story. I dumped that many months ago. I spend COUNTLESS hours trying to get the modem, purchased from HST themselves, to work with HSP. I tried it on 2 different computer systems, and eventually a new fresh OS install on my HA machine. I could use the modem to dial in to my backup modem line to use if DSL is down, it worked with 5 different other caller ID programs to report the caller ID when the phone rang, and I cant remember how may other programs it worked with to answer the phone (worked with all of them I tested at least), spit out a greeting and record the message all quite perfectly. HSP refused to see the caller ID, or access the modem for anything else other than sending direct AT commands to the modem in VBscripts such as to dial the phone for me to call someone, using the same COM port HSP was set to. That is pretty messed up there, when you can use a HS script with com port 2 in a VBScript to access the modem, and HSP could not even see the modem!mdiehl said:Be that as it may, something is still broken if it doesn't see the drivers, and the ARE in the right place and extracted properly. Not too impressive.
I posted help ticket after help ticket, message after message in the forums....and just finally ditched the software for a far better software answering machine replacement. I still use the modem and hardware wise it works quite well.
There is no reason to respond to this post with offers of help for the modem, as I have no intentions of trying to get HSP working. I am simply stating this, to agree with the above drivers comment, and say I totally understand.
