When you connect the eView 100, it configures itself automatically and immediately begins operation. The information displayed for incoming calls includes the number of the telephone from which the call is being made, the name on the listing, the date and time of the call, and a count of multiple calls from the same phone number. In addition to having the eView 100 perform scheduled queries, you can prompt the system to check your e-mail accounts for new messages at any time. If you receive an incoming phone call on the line to which eView is attached while the program is checking for e-mail, the query is aborted so the call can come through. We successfully tested the eView with America Online and EarthLink e-mail accounts and Caller ID service over a period of a week.
Messages move across the display like a ticker tape, which is fun to watch and easy to manage.
